Keep sctrans running when I shut the ssh window

[soniceffect]

OK guys, hoping someone can help me.

I have a shoutcast server running with no problem, and I can also set sc_trans_linux running using the command ./sc_trans_linux .... I understand this but I`m afraid this is as far as my knowledge lyes.

The problem I have is that although when I set sc_Serv of running from the ssh window, it keeps running once I close the window and shutdown my comp here at home. sc_trans however terminates the second I close the ssh window.

Question is how do I keep this running?

ut a & after the command to send it to the background. If that doesn't work try additionally putting nohup before the command.

i use fedora core 4 and when i execute ./sc_serv & and it runs in the background.

[necontrol212]

yea i use that command too and it works.

but what about for sc_trans_linux?

btw, i run slackware 10.2 for anyone who is in the need to know.

[AsianGuyJTran]

i believe it is the same thing. i use the sc_serv

btw. what is the difference between sc_serv and sc_linux_trans?

[necontrol212]

sc_serv is your shoutcast server.

sc_trans_linux is a winamp plugin?? it allows winamp to get the music off your box. I'm pretty sure. I just now I needed it to make my server work. Which it does. But i just cant get this window to close without killing my server. just like the guy who started this post.

[necontrol212]

okay, i dont know what i was doing wrong or why it wasnt working. but i just tried it again.

./sc_trans_linux &

once it was done loading. i hit ctrl c

and it kept working. so for anyone else, there you have it.

many ways to do this...
./sc_trans_linux config &

(note, your console will flood with the stdout, so u can filter it out by redirection. ie:
./sc_trans_linux config >/dev/null 2>&1

thus you'll return to the console and it would still be running.

to kill it, killall -9 sc_trans_linux

note: if u exit the console/ssh, the process might get killed as your main process has exited..

else if you have screen, screen the process and CTRL-A, D
this is only useful if you want to see the standard output, etc.. blah.. (man screen or else install screen first then man screen)

or else setup a cron to start it when you need to and set another cron to killall -9 it when u need to

[bingo]

./sc_trans_linux config >/dev/null 2>&1 &
