[Opensim-dev] Running OpenSim in the background

[Lino Figueroa]

Not so difficult.

For Linux only: "screen Opensim........". You can install Opensim/ROBUST as
"services" (Webmin has a good service manager).

Take a look at: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Automating_Tasks

And for the screen command:

You can change between screens for accessing the opensim console.


For windows... no idea, I don't use windows for servers, but I suppose that
the screen command has been "migrated" for windows too (
http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/)

MAC OSX... even less idea.
