Linux Script - How To Keep It Running Even When Logged Out?

I just started a CS GO server, I would use TCAdmin a GUI for making game servers but since Counter Strike GO is in beta, doesnt work too well with it. My question is I have a script called ./srcds_run then I run it. Works perfect. But how would I make it run as a background process so I can just log out and leave the server there?

Thanks, necro.

You could start your script from the rc.local file, if you want it running from boot up.

If you want it running only manually, I like the nohup idea.

This should work:

nohup  ./srcds_run &

This puts your command in the background and has it continue to run after you log out [nohup man page]

The screen utility will enable you to run a process in 'detached' mode:

screen -d -m ./srcds_run

screen man page
