How to not launch into background on Linux?

Post by Freeze24 »

Hi,
is it possible to avoid launching Unreal automatically into background on Linux?

I do not believe this is possible nor could I see any potential reason for doing this.

My intention is to add UnrealIRCd to inittab with the action "respawn", so that its automatically restarted after an eventual crash.

You could just use a crontab with the supplied cronscript, that checks to see if the pid in ircd.pid is running if not starts Unreal again.
