Hello,

I am using ubuntu 14.14 to host my csgo servers but I want to run multiple servers at once. How do I startup another server without killing the server that's currently running. And how do I exit and enter a console of a running server.

Thanks.

Create another user and redo the process

Thanks for your reply. I still have a couple of questions.
- will closing putty shutdown the currently running server
- how do I exit the server console without it shutting down.
- how do I enter a running server console.
Thanks for your time

You're better off using this: http://gameservermanagers.com/lgsm/csgoserver/
You can otherwise do it with screen or tmux.
Example:

screen -A -m -d -L -S csgoserver ./srcds_run -game csgo -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_allclassic +map de_dust2

Use this:
screen -dmSL MyFirstServer ./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon -secure -nohltv +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +hostport 27015 -maxplayers_override 32 +map mg_metal_course_2 +clientport 28015 -tickrate 128 +game_mode 0 +game_type 0 -stringtables +sv_setsteamaccount xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You can run serveral servers under one user (using screen).

To "open" screen console:
screen -r MyFirstServer

To "hide" screen console:
CTRL+A+Z

To "close" screen console (kill server):
screen -S MyFirstServer -X quit

If you got this errror: -bash: screen: command not found:
sudo apt-get install screen

Using the same install directory for multiple servers is a bad idea just to be clear. Make sure they are all different directorys.

I would also recommend using LGSM. Great for beginners or people who are lazy, like me.

Thanks everybody for the replies!

Screen is disgusting for large scale servers, imo.

Creating a .conf file in /etc/init does wonders.

I run about 40ish servers across the source games, trust me, it's a heck of a lot easier to use a .conf file than it is to use screen.

I run my servers using tmux, you can just run 1 server per screen and send a command for every screen at the same time
