Setting up a server

[LogicParrot]

I'll go for the screen solution as it's also very flexible - anyone got at a example for a screen start command?

I have written a complete guide for tmux. Tmux and Screen both achieve your needs, but I like Tmux more so the guide is about Tmux.

If you want screen, just follow the same guide, with the following changes:
in /etc/rc.local, you use this line instead:

Code:

su - minecraft -c 'screen -S minecraft -d -m PATH TO MCSERVER'

For attaching, you use this instead:

Code:

screen -x

For detaching, you use this instead:

Code:

Ctrl+a , d

---

Fixed first command.
