Shell Programming and Scripting

I... really don't know what a security model is. The only people who actually log into the shell itself are myself and the minecraft server admins. It's not like we have users that log in and out of the shell all the time.

I think I found my own solution, though. I'll discuss it with my superior and see if he likes the idea.

Going to write a few lines into ~/etc/rc.local:

Code:

screen -S main -t mc
screen -S main -X screen -t ts
screen -S main -X screen -t sc

Those should start a screen session with three named windows. Then I'll simply make aliases that run start scripts in the specific screen windows (wether your in that window or not).

Something like this:

Code:

alias startmc='screen -S main -t mc -X stuff $'cd /home && ./start.sh \r'

I think that will work.

Security model: If you are attached to the Internet, how do you control who gets on the screens?

Well, we don't nobody logs into the shell itself except admins of the minecraft server and myself. And only one person is on at a time, usually.

figured out how to download tmux on my mac (thanks to homebrew) and decided it might be a good idea to switch to it. So I guess my problem is solved. I found a tutorial that helped me with the scripting for tmux, too.
