[Opensim-dev] Running OpenSim in the background

[Lino Figueroa]

This is an off-topic: I did my own solution called RemoteServices... there
were things I din't like in Remote Admin.

But is a solution as many others.

Anyway, I repeat, the "screen solution" is a "quick and dirty solution" for
the standard opensim core. Something more professional: do it for yourself,
you have the source code.
