Daemonized server on ubuntu/linux?

[jjeffers]

I'm noticing that starting the server via "nohup" will fail like this:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-48-101:~/VoidExpanse_v1.2.7_Linux/Server_Mono$ nohup bash -c 'mono VoidExpanse.ServerMono.exe --dedicated --load'
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to ΓÇÿnohup.outΓÇÖ

Have other folks come across this?

Thanks!

I'm not using this, but maybe you can give it a try with the bundled launcher?
use ./VoidExpanse.ServerMono.Bootstrapper.Bundle.Linux64 --dedicated -load 0

Same result as before. It looks like it's trying to read from the console, perhaps there is a STDIN that's triggering that read? I'm not sure. It's not critical, but if I can't run the server in the background after I logout, it is inconvenient.

Thanks!

As a workaround you can open a screen and run the server in a screen. That's what I do

[jjeffers]

That's what I ended up doing. Not ideal but works for now. Thanks!
