====== Running Multiple Instances of the Crossfire Server ======

Running multiple instances of the [[:server]] is possible, be it for debugging purposes or just for the personal experience. \\ 
And my personal experience on a 2-Core Intel CPU with 2,67 GHz BIOS year 2008 is very pleasing: 8 instances were  running, without much CPU-usage as shown by the [[http://xosview.sourceforge.net|xosview]] application. \\ 

===== Problems when running multiple instances =====

There are some problems when running multiple instances of the server; mainly the LOCALDIR and LIBDIR (DATADIR) handling may confuse the (other) servers, if these are shared. \\
One solution would be to pass [[positional parameters]] to the server at start up time, the other solution would be to use [[environment variables]] . \\
