Keep process running (wget) and logout - Shell Programming and Scripting

mikey1090 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-15-2006

well, i have only been learning about linux, unix and shells for a few days.

For my online game to work, i need run a file each 10 seconds. Running that file will update mysql data, causing my online game to "tick". This adds resources and fights battles in game.

I know that i need to use a bakground process, a wget commad.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
wget my_url/tick.php
sleep 10
done

exit 0

that code runs the process in the ofreground. i want to exit Putty, logiut, and keep that process running for ever.

Can anyone hp me, or advise me how to do this?

Thanks, Mike

i suppose you can run the script with the 'nuhup' and the '&'. this should keep it running after logout.
