I have a process that i run with this command:
java -jar loginserver.jar &
I need to be able to send commands to this program. I've tried bg/fg but apparently it doesn't persist thru sessions. Is there any other way I can do this?

What type of input do you need to send? – EEAA Oct 11 '12 at 04:05

Just text. Commands like 'shutdown 10' where 10 is the number of minutes before it shuts down.. etc. I've also tried echo "shutdown 10" > /procs/pid/fd/0 with no success. The bg/fg works but only in the same ssh session. – Tar Oct 11 '12 at 04:05

Are the only commands that you're trying to send shutdown or restart commands? Are you trying to run this as a daemon rather than just a process within your shell session? – Dave Forgac Oct 11 '12 at 05:31

This is a loginserver. I can send commands to shutdown worlds for a game I'm hosting. The commands are interpreted by the loginserver, so they can really be whatever. Shutdown was just an example. – Tar Oct 11 '12 at 05:55
