Question

Every single time I exit putty, my server crashes. It’s gotten to the point that I have to keep my laptop on 24/7 to keep my servers up. If my laptop runs out of battery and putty is exited, my servers all crash!
Why does it do this, and how can I stop this?!
THANKS

Because you aren’t running your processes in the background.

I thought I was. How am I supposed to do it?
I host BYOND games with my server and my line goes like

DreamDaemon Game/Game.dmb 9999 -safe -trusted&

The “&” is supposed to be make it run in the background, but it all shuts down anyways.

Add nohup in front of that command or run it in a screen.

Thanks, I’m going to try adding “nohup” like you said, but what do you mean by run it in a screen?
