Hi all!

My sphereserver is running with my CentOS 6.4, so no problems to get it started BUT I cannot start it using the screen command.

screen -D -m spheresvr &

This is what i receive as an "answer" to my command:

[root@81-89-103-180 home]# screen -D -m spheresvr &
[1] 16220
[root@81-89-103-180 home]#

Nothing else!
When i type "screen -r 16220" then the console tells me the following:

[1]+ Done screen -D -m spheresvr
[root@81-89-103-180 home]#

Nothing else, no sphereserver that's running in the background, now sphere console comming up -> just nothing^^


./spheresvr works great, the sphere console shows up and it boots... (but when I close putty the sphereserver is closed too )


Am I doing something wrong?

thx 4 ur help

well, screen doesn't quite work that way
First you need to create your screen session, and then start sphere from inside that screen.

Simple way is this:
Login with putty.
enter "screen -x -RR sphereserver" <--- This will get your screen session called sphereserver or create one if it don't exist
start sphere "./spheresvr"
close putty. Don't use the exit command.
To get the console again, login to putty, use "screen -x -RR sphereserver"
