BitsharesX is the GUI, you need to start "bitshares_client --daemon".
Thanks, that did it, but now I have a new problem.
I start it from a script in etc/init.d, & when I start it, it displays the following output, but doesn't release my console back to a bash prompt.
Starting BitSharesX
Loading blockchain from: /root/.BitSharesX/chain
Loading config from file: /root/.BitSharesX/config.json
Initializing genesis state from built-in genesis file
Please be patient, this will take a few minutes...
Successfully re-indexed 0 blocks in 0 seconds.
Starting JSON RPC server on port 43021 (localhost only)
Starting HTTP JSON RPC server on port 38631 (localhost only)
Running in daemon mode, ignoring console
Is there a way to get my prompt back after I start it?
Plus, once I <Ctrl-C> to exit that, if I do:
$bitshares_client exit
I get the following output, with a prompt I have to type 'quit' at to exit completely.
$ bitshares_client exit

How do I exit fully & get a command prompt back?
