Hi, I’m running a Counter-Strike: Source gameserver but when I close the putty client, the server just shuts down , sometimes when i close it doesn’t shut down which is weird, so all goes well, ubt whenever the server gets no activity for lets say, 30 minutes , i just shuts down, how can I keep my CS:s server up 24/7? Is there something I need to add to the command line to keep it up 24/7? Here’s my current command line:
./srcds_run -game cstrike +port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust2 -secure

Don’t do any of that. <br> <br>Just run: <br> <br>./srcds_run -game cstrike +port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust2 -secure > /dev/null 2>&1 & <br> <br>The issue is your server trying to write to the output pipe and it not being available since the ssh session is closed. Just pipe your output to dev null instead, the server will still have logs, it just won’t log back to console and crash.
@bgclan: Once you run the gameserver, you should detach the screen session by pressing <strong>ctrl +a, d</strong>. You should be back to your shell once you do that. You can then disconnect and the server will still be running.
