Problem with linux perl repeater

Post by bfis108137 »

I have got the perl repeater up and running on my shared host but I did it using putty and as soon as I close putty it closes down. I saw in a thread on here somewhere that you should use the following command

Code: Select all

/**user public html folder**/cgi-bin/ultravnc_repeater.pl -L BG -r -C -c 5956 -s 5501
I get the following error if I do that

Code: Select all

ultravnc_repeater: error: client listen on port -L:  -
So I just ran it like this

Code: Select all

/**user public html folder**/cgi-bin/ultravnc_repeater.pl
It works but it will like I said shut down as soon as I close putty.

Any ideas?

I use Screen to keep the repeater going.

This was so helpful. I hope you know how easy and powerful this is. I now have running on shared hosting (that I pay very little for and would pay for anyways for other reasons) a vnc repeater. It works very fast to say the least. I suppose the only hiccup would be if they restart the server but if that happens I can just run it again. I had used the nohup method but the disadvantage there was that I couldn't see live what the server was doing. This is amazing.
