I can give it a try. I'll just comment on the actual commands to hopefully 
make it more readable.

This redirects stderr into stdout. Seems kinda redundant as nohup will 
redirect both again (see info nohup).

At this point you could now add the lines (marked by +) to constantly loop the 
gameservice. It's very important that you remove the trailing backslash and 
ampersand though. Otherwise you start a new server every 5 seconds.

The whole nohup stuff is the line that starts the actual server (with 
cod_lnxded being the actual server program). 

(On a sideniote... as I'm curious... using nohup for server programs seems a 
bit pointless. Is there any daemon that actually acts on HUP?)

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for but have fun anyways.

Have a nice day
