Greetings Gentlefolk,

I've just gone out and bought myself Q3 for Linux - and am trying to setup
a q3 server.. the only problem is that the usual backgrounding and tty
dissociation methods don't seem to be working..

On RH6.2 - in /etc/rc.d/init.d/quake3 - under start I have:

/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/nohup /opt/quake3/q3ded +set dedicated 1 +s
et com_hunkmegs 16 &" quake

which should theoretically work right? but it doesn't...

Similarly,

/bin/su -c "/opt/quake3/q3ded +set dedicated 1 +set com_hunkmegs
 16 > /dev/null 2>&1 &" quake

doesn't seem to work either..

Does anyone have a /etc/rc.d/init.d/quake3 file that I can have - and/or
can someone tell me why this isn't working?

The ps -uaxw output is:

quake    12229 78.0  1.3 29864 1780 pts/2    R    17:11   0:03
/opt/quake3/q3ded
 +set dedicated 1 +set com_hunkmegs 16

note the 78% cpu - (strace shows that it looks like it's in a loop of some
sort) - when run manually from the command line as:

./q3ded +dedicated 1 +set com_hunkmegs 16

things work fine..

Thanks in advance...

Cheers,
Umar.
