Question about ./shared_memory

[Huppy]

I was wondering, the shared_memory executable, is that supposed to keep running after
you start the linux server ?
It seems to do it's shared loading, then stops, goes back to cmd prompt, (like below)
Takes about 5 seconds from enter button to cmd prompt again.

huppy@phenom:~/eqemu$ ./shared_memory

[Status] Loading spells...
[Status] Loading base data...
huppy@phenom:~/eqemu$

My whole server starts up without any errors and nothing in the logs. It does create the
files in the server share folder.
Just to add - when I run top, I don't see the process in the list. If I run killall cmd, it tells
me there is no such process.
