#!/bin/sh
./world &
./zone &
./zone &
./zone &
./zone &

I get all things on same terminal, how can i get each zone in one independent terminal? I also would like to know how many zones are u running for a stable server with 10 players online?

Thank you in advance!

The following is what I remember, but since my Linux machine had a HDD failure, and I havent got another one up yet I can't check it. In particular, I'm not sure of the test off the top of my head.

Try this:

#!/bin/sh
#change this to where ever your server binaries are
GAMEDIR=/eqemu/server/bin

#Check world isnt already running.
# grep returns 1 of world not found, so ! $? should be zero
ps aux | grep world >> /dev/null
if [ ! $? ] ; then

cd $GAMEDIR
xterm -e ./world &
xterm -e ./zone &
xterm -e ./zone &
xterm -e ./zone &
xterm -e ./zone &
