UT server in back ground

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament (More info?)

Does anybody know this? I used to run my UT server on my linux box, without
a start up script... when I did this, I could always see what's happening
on my server in real time. now, I'm using ASU script to fire the server...
every thing works well. but one thing is, that it runs the server in the
background, and I never can see what's going on in my server, unless I look
at the log file... is there a way to allow the server to run in forground?
Thanks.

I am not an expert in this, but you could use "tail -f <logfile name>"
to continously display the log file.

I don't know this "ASU script" you're talking about. What kind of script
is it? You can always read it and see what it does, then alter it to
suit your needs.

If you do 'man tail' you can read all about it. The log files can be
found in ~/.loki/ut/System
