Run script in screen at startup

[Anderen2]

OS: Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 LTS

Hi, I have a problem, I have a script which need to be ran in a screen, automaticly at startup (SRCDS Spesificly).

What I've done:
Ive placed a boot.sh script in init.d:

sh /home/xinity/eXtremeServer/startup.sh

startup.sh:

cd /home/xinity/eXtremeServer
screen -S Sandbox ./orangebox/StartServer.sh

cd /home/xinity/eXtremeServer/orangebox/
#cp -v ./srcds_run_cp ./srcds_run
#chmod -v +x ./srcds_run
./srcds_run -console -game garrysmod +hostport 27016 +tv_port 27021 +maxplayers 16 +map gm_construct -autoupdate -insecure -consolelog ./conlog.txt -timeout 1 -ignoresigint

Ran update-rc.d

What is wrong/happens:
The server will run, I can connect to it, and see its process in top (running as root though). But it will not appear in the screen -ls list. And I cannot attach to it, therefor I have no way to manage my screen/server.

Is there any other way to execute scripts at startup? I remember when I ran Ubuntu Desktop, I managed to run it by the program Startup Manager. There has to be an nongui way to do this?

Thanks for any answer

Have you tried detaching the screen?

screen -S Sandbox -d -m ./orangebox/StartServer.sh

You mention "running as root" - is it not supposed to run as root? Anyway, whomever is the user that calls screen is the one that controls the screen, so "screen -ls" will only work as that user that started the screen.

Yeah you're right, sudo screen -ls showed my screen.
Its supposed to run under my main user (xinity). As screen messes up when its ran under root. I tried sudo -u xinity, but then the server failed to run :/

can you explain what you mean by the screen messing up, when root?

also, what do you mean the server fails to run; because your main user simply can't run the server (permission problems, etc.) or b/c of the way you are invoking sudo? attach errors, if possible.

With screen "messing up", I mean it won't accept input and often hangs. With "Server fails to run" I mean nothing happens, no process in top, no screen in -ls.
And there are no errors :/

Thanks
