Check out 'screen', too. It's a program that allows you to detach from
your terminal and do other things. So, if you want to run your program,
but be able to disconnect from the server, but see say, the debug, you
could do this:

screen ./hlds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust -autoupdate

You could hit Control-A , then D to detach from your terminal ,
disconnect, and check up on it by SSHing back into the server and typing
screen -r

That will re-attach your screen and you can see what you want to see.

Screen is an immensely useful program; I use it when I want to move from
physical location to physical location but not lose what I was doing
(say, using an IRC program or NAIM, editing files, etc).
