So you must have X running? right click 'properties' on the file and check 'is executable'.

ok so what file is x??

[Jack Daniel]

hehe ok now it shows this:

eqemu@Necromongers:~$ cd ~eqemu/server
eqemu@Necromongers:~/server$ ./start
+ LNAME=zone
+ '[' '' = test ']'
++ pwd
+ P=/home/eqemu/server
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ mkdir -p logs
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-zones -a '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ for f in 'logs/eqemu_*.log'
+ '[' 'logs/eqemu_*.log' = logs/eqemu_commands_zone.log ']'
+ rm -f 'logs/eqemu_*.log'
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ touch .lock-world
+ ./persist_world
+ sleep 15
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-launcher ']'
+ touch .lock-launcher
+ ./eqlaunch zone
eqemu@Necromongers:~/server$

does this mean i did right?

By X I meant X-windows, your (Linux windows). I was trying to make life a little easier for you; right click on your script(file) named 'start' and select 'properties' - you'll see the option for making it an executable there.

i did that and i got this

eqemu@Necromongers:~$ cd ~eqemu/server
eqemu@Necromongers:~/server$ ./start
+ LNAME=zone
+ '[' '' = test ']'
++ pwd
+ P=/home/eqemu/server
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/eqemu/server
+ mkdir -p logs
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-zones -a '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ for f in 'logs/eqemu_*.log'
+ '[' 'logs/eqemu_*.log' = logs/eqemu_commands_zone.log ']'
+ rm -f 'logs/eqemu_*.log'
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-world ']'
+ touch .lock-world
+ ./persist_world
+ sleep 15
+ '[' '!' -e .lock-launcher ']'
+ touch .lock-launcher
+ ./eqlaunch zone
eqemu@Necromongers:~/server$

does this mean the server has started??

[Angelox]

Is this your 'first time ever' with Linux? Anyway, post your start script. under what are you running all this (root, eq, etc)?

[Jack Daniel]

Sorry yes this my first time with Linux my start script is
