Start @ background

[Restless]

Hello, can someone help me with this little problem?

I want to start the mta-server in background... but how?

i tried

./mta-server

(starts perfect) <---- normal start

i tried

screen -A -m -d -S mtaserver ./mta-server

(no connection possible [server timed out])<--- screen start

i tried

./mta-server > /dev/null 2>&1 &

(no connection possible[server timed out]) <--- /dev/null start

is there any option to start mta-server in background?

what you got after

screen -r mtaserver

(after running it with screen ofc)

?

[Strika]

type

screen -S mta

(it will make a new screen session called mta)

then start your server with just

./mta-server

(navigate to the directory if needed)

now to "minimise" it, press CTRL+A+D

if you want to resume it

screen -R mta

if it doesn't work, make sure you have screen installed.

apt-get update

apt-get install screen
