When i run this script via terminal on my dedicated server it works. But only while the window is opened (the terminal). When i close the window, it close the script for running. How can i make it running forever in the background?

#!/bin/bash ./robots.sh & ./update_robots.sh & ./update_auctions_end.sh & ./auto_bidders.sh

You will want to use the "nohup" command to do something like this:

nohup ./robots.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Hope this helps you.

You can see full details of nohup here: http://linux.die.net/man/1/nohup

try sending output to null, then your command window will not wait for output and will leave the process alone with itself:

command params > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &
