Running in the background doesn't work

[ffuentese]

I wanna keep a rustifarm instance in the background but I'm not able to keep it there. I need to run it in the background and close that terminal and keep having access to that process but if I close the window it's gone. I'm using OpenBSD 6.9

How did you start rustifarm? can you list all commands/steps you ran before closing the terminal?

I think I managed to replicate the issue on OpenBSD 6.8
It looks like the issue does not occur on linux.

Just closing the window does not in itself stop the server, but a new player connecting while the window is closed does crash the server.
I suspect that the problem is in the logging: it crashes because it can't write to stdout/stderr when the window is closed.
This does not explain why it does not crash when a player disconnects (that should give a log message too), but I can't replicate the error when redirecting stdout and stderr to log files

Workaround: Redirect stdout and stderr to log files:

/home/troido/rustifar/target/release/asciifarm -c /home/troido/rustifarm/content/ >stdout.log 2>stderr.log &

Does this workaround work for you?

That worked, thanks.
