For easy management of consoles, run each seperate server in it's own shell window using screen (installed during the linux instructions). Create a script called runsim.sh in the opensim/bin directory, and paste this in it:

#!/bin/sh
screen -S UserServer -d -m  mono OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe
sleep 3
screen -S GridServer -d -m mono OpenSim.Grid.GridServer.exe
sleep 3
screen -S AssetServer -d -m mono OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer.exe
sleep 3
screen -S InventoryServer -d -m mono OpenSim.Grid.InventoryServer.exe
sleep 3
screen -S OpenSim -d -m mono OpenSim.exe -gridmode=true
sleep 3

Once the script has run, you can type this to view the available OpenSIM servers:

screen -r 

To attach to an existing screen session type the following command followed by the number of the screen you wish to enter

screen -d -r ### 

To break out of a screen session back to your original shell:

Ctrl+a (then) d 

To kill all existing mono sessions, type:

sudo killall -9 mono
