Daemonize Multi Theft Auto (MTA) servers

PhrozenByte Multi Theft Auto (MTA)

Daemonize Multi Theft Auto (MTA) servers

Usage

  • Install screen (e.g. apt-get install screen)
  • Copy mta-server to /usr/local/bin and make it executable
  • Copy start-mta-server and cleanup-mta-server to your MTA server directory (default server should be at /opt/mta/default) and make them executable
  • Copy mta-server.env to your MTA server directory and adapt it to your own needs; you can comment/remove WWW_PATH if you don't want to use an external web server; see the MTA wiki for more details...
  • Execute /usr/local/bin/mta-server to see how you can use the script
