Hi Daniel, Immediately upon executing the dedicated server process you can type commands into the running shell, be it a screen or whatever.
You can also use rcon ( http://tinyurl.com/rcontools ) to send commands to the server remotely and use the qstat program to monitor it remotely (qstat -q3s 127.0.0.1) . Here's a fairly straightforward server guide: http://it.rcmd.org/networks/q3_install/q3_linux_server_howto.php https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=quake+3+server+guide&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I hope that helps, zjs On Jun 24, 2013, at 8:33 PM, Daniel Bryan <danbr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I've just started a new ioquake3 server.
