It you use the default values than acarsd will not start as server! After setting/changing all options you should select the menuentry 'Write new acarsd.ini' If this is done you can select 'Extract acarsd.cpr now' from the Extract to menu.

Under Linux you can choose between ncurses or GUI If you habe an running X Server you can start acarsdgui after acarsd with the following command: LINUX: ./acarsdgui -attach If you wish that acarsd comes directly with the GUI, please start acarsd with: LINUX: ./acarsd -g BUT NOTE: If you stop the GUI, acarsd is also stopped! If you attach the GUI than you can STOP/START the GUI without stopping acarsd. If you wish to start acarsd as daemon (server) with no output, you should enable these options in your acarsd.ini or you can use the commandlineswitches. LINUX: ./acarsd -s -c & acarsd will now fork into background. YOU CAN ATTACH THE GUI IF YOU WANT! NOTE, THAT THE DAEMON OPTION DONT EXISTS IN THE WINDOWS VERSION OF ACARSD!
