Re: Linux Admining
The simplest way to start a game in text mode on a linux server for continual running.. well there isnt one. The problem is that telling it to run continual and background tends to cut off your ability to answer the questions. I havent been able to get the answers to work coming from a text file with something like <input.txt. So you will need to provide the answers on one line.
The simplest line I can come up with is..
nohup dom3 -STq fastgame --port 9999 --mapfile eye.map --era 1 &
(again thats a Q not a G)
Of course you can change "fastgame" to any name you want, and 9999 to any port, eye.map to the map file for any map you have in the maps directory, and era to 1 2 or 3.
If you want to play with adding other settings then type
dom3 -h
which will give you a text screen of all the switches.
