Questions Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I'm some what new to linux and have managed to setup a jk2 and Ef server but what i really want to do is control it from my windows computer. I have redhat 7.2 and would really apreciat help on how i get a remote admin going and what programs to use. The simple and easyer the better. I would prefer to do it via a Lan and internet connection but Lan would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman{TSS} Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Here's what I do. Set up SSH on your server, since it's more secure than telnet, and just SSH into your RH box with an SSH client from the windows computer, I use Putty for example, but any will do. you're going to want to follow these directions posted by madrebel on the Linux how to post: "If you want to be cool, you know you want to be cool. Launch the game using screen. Screen allows you to telnet/ssh into your server and attach to your servers "screen" just like youre at the console. do this. In the user or in roots home type. touch jk2 chmod +x jk2 open the file jk2 in your favorite editor. add these lines cd /usr/local/games/jk2/ screen -A -m -d -S jk2 ./jk2ded +exec server.cfg +map ffa_bespin now all you ahve to do to launch the game is go to the directory that you created the file jk2 in (remember touch jk2 created a text tile) and type in ./jk2 notice it dumps you back to a prompt, doesnt look like it did anything does it. just type screen -r jk2 and bamm youre in your servers console. To detach from screen hold down control and hit a then d. " : This is what I do and it works very well. Thank you MadRebel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
