[cod] AutoStart Cod

[Maverick]

Using rc.local should work, but you need to run the entries using su and 
the userid the server runs as.  Another possiblity would be to have a 
cron job for each user that checks to see if the server is running, and 
if not starts it up.  If that ran every 5 or 10 minutes the servers 
wouldn't be down log.  Personally we just start things up manually 
because we never have to reboot the machines.  Gotta love Linux. :-)

Later!
