EDIT: Figured out how to do it, how I did it at end of post.. Still curious for "side question"
So I have a Linux server setup and Minetest installed and running. However my access to the server is via ssh.
Is there a way to run the Minetest server without having to leave the SSH session open? A way to see the server console as well?
The server is Ubuntu oneiric and my access is headless only.
A side question, roughly what is the bandwidth needs to run a Minetest server? Like how many players would a home Cable net ISP support?
Solution: For Ubuntu at least (not sure how it works on other distros) open up your SSH session and issue the following command:
nohup minetestserver &
The output will by default be in $HOME/nohup.out
