		I had help setting up my Linux based VPS and everything seems fine. Whenever I run PUTTY to "./samp03svr" it loads everything fine, except not announcing like it should but that's another issue. Whenever I close PUTTY, it shuts off the server too.
How do I keep the server running all the time without crashing after I shut off PUTTY?

		Thanks a million man. nohup means to not shut it off until I say so?

		nohup is a command that makes the app ignore the hangup signal (when you close putty), so yes, it wont shut off 'til you say so
the & at the end makes it run as a background process

		use: ps aux in terminal to view the running processes, find the sa-mp server one, get the ID of it and use kill (ID) 
thats how to stop one! hope that helps:P
