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

(use this ONCE!, nothing will shop up, but the server will be running)

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

(use this ONCE!, nothing will shop up, but the server will be running)

Error :

-bash: screen: command not found

I think I need to create Screen but I don't now how.

You need to install screen, I'm sure it's in local repositories already, so use whatever command you use to install applications (sudo apt-get install screen, or if I remember correctly Debian used su instead of sudo to run commands with root permissions)

@madis: "su"

su apt-get install screen

I have one identical, the following did what I needed

apt-get install screen

screen -S mta-server

if 'screen' package cannot be found, you might wanna change sources.list or try apt-get update.

then when you want to resume console, simply screen -r mta-server and it will resume.

If the package is not found you can also do apt-get update to update the list.
