If its all in the same conf you can not ( i think..) run 2 servers. You would need to have 2 different configs. and shell prompts in your terminal.
Besides, if you are on Mac with terminal, cant you minimize the screens??

each copy of bzfs runs one map, on one port.
you have to run an instance of bzfs for each one.
if you want to share configs between them, then you have to take the port and map info out of the config, and specify it from the command line.
you can not have more then one port, or more then one map in a single config file, because a single server can not run more then one map or more then one port.
The OS of the server does not mater.
Many of the hosts that run a number of servers use a config and a shell script to setup servers.

You can use the screen command to set up different terminal screens which you can detach from and they will still run (plus you can come back to them later). Or I guess you could run it in the background.

I would assume they use create a new screen for each bzfs instance.

Yes, you can specify it like:
Code: Select all
./bzfs -p 5154 -publicaddr your.server.com:5154 -conf main.conf
./bzfs -p 5155 -publicaddr your.server.com:5155 -conf main.conf
although I doubt that you want completely identical servers on multiple ports, so you'd probably want more options. Alternatively, you can utilize -conf multiple times:
Code: Select all
./bzfs -conf main.conf -conf server1.conf
./bzfs -conf main.conf -conf server2.conf
I actually used -conf three times for a server I ran once.
