here I'd like to share with you some useful tips I just founded while learning to set up a CS1.5 server on GNU/Linux. It's about how to resume a progress that had been put into background as you logout, and it's not the ^z and bg/fg stuff.
we have all come crossed such situations that we need to leave for a few seconds or just some unexpected things kicked us out from the system when we were still running a program, say 'nc -l -p 80'. This happens commonly when you are logging in with a not-robust connection, and when we get back, the the program is still there, running in the background. You can see it with a 'ps -A', but never will you be able to 'fg' it.
So, what shall we do?
The answer is '
screen'. With screen, you can safely "save" a running progress in the system, and "resume" it at any time. Following is the usage from 'man screen'.
SCREEN(1) SCREEN(1)
NAME
screen - screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
SYNOPSIS
screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]
screen -r [[pid.]tty[.host]]
screen -r sessionowner/[[pid.]tty[.host]]
-d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but
doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system startup
scripts.
-S sessionname
When creating a new session, this option can be used to specify a
meaningful name for the session. This name identifies the session
for "screen -list" and "screen -r" actions. It substitutes the
default [tty.host] suffix.
And,
examples I found at a
GUN/Linux CS server howto.
"save a progress in background"
'screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip ip.de.internet +sv_lan 1 -nomaster +maxplayers 18 +map de_dust2'
"resume it whenever necessary"
'screen -r hlds'
To make it background again, Hold ctrl, then press and hold A, then press D.
昨晚有人在学校网管群里抱怨校园网限速，限制p2p。作为cert教育网的忠实拥护者，截图（因为是PrintScreen直接截的图，电影内容看不到）一张，以证视听。可以看到，播放器右下角的即时速度为453KB/s。其实，峰值可以达到580多KB，不过是我按键的速度慢了点儿。
