How to Run my MTA SA 24/7 on a VPS

[Om.]

Hi Guys, I've installed MTA Server on my VPS, but it shutdowns when i press "CTRL + C" (Exit ./mta-server), Is there anything which can run my Default Server 24/7 on my VPS?

Use screen in linux.

See point 5. Running the server. The general idea is the same, even if you use Ubuntu (which is Debian-derived anyway) - just install the screen package and use it like I have explained in my tutorial.

Also, wrong section.

./mta-server -d << This command to up your server 24/7

killall -9 mta-server << This command to shutdown your server

Without screen you can launch it as a background process.

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

However being able to access the console has it's advantages, and screen is one of the best tools for that.

su root 
apt-get install screen 

After installation check this guide: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/screen.htm, for available commands and how it works.

screen -dmS NameOfScreen ./mta-server

When u want to get back to server console type:

screen -r NameOfScreen

Other commands that are very used for screen are:

screen -ls (shows the list of screens)

screen -wipe (when you stop a server, you can refresh the screens list)
