I want to setup a RunUO RE server but can't get it to work in linux, so I'll just revert to windows for now and I think I can easily transport the files to linux after anyway once I figure out how to get it working.

Problem is, it's a consol app, and I KNOW my dad will keep closing it all the time because he has no clue what he's doing when he's on the computer. So I need a way to be able to run it silently, and pipe the output to a text file. Is this possible, like with a batch file command or something?

You could always use a program to hide the window and make it show up with hotkeys or something, or just set yourself up a user account. I am not aware of any programs that will make it run in the background in Windows.
