[cod] AutoStart Cod

[theo]

***I replied to the wrong message before, sorry for the duplicate.

This might be useful to you. I use this on the sof2 server I run and
will tweak it for CoD if I end up keeping my server. It was tweaked by
one of my buddies, go_jesse and it is easy to modify.

Please remember to give credit where it is due.

I use a crontab (0-59/5 * * * *  $HOME/bin/sof2_inf_osp.init check)
every five minutes and this script:

 

#!/bin/sh
#
# standard format startup script for sof2

# modified by jesse (go_jesse at yahoo.com)

Subject: [cod] AutoStart Cod

I have been reading several different ways of starting the COD server.
Right
now what I have been doing the most is login as a user, use the command
SCREEN or NOHUP, start the server then logoff. That seems to work just
fine.


I was just wondering if this list ever passed around a way to auto start
the
COD dedicated server upon system reboot. I tried making an entry to the
rc.local file but that seemed to not work for me. 

OR.. Do the admins not auto start the server and just fire it up in a
similar method mentioned above and be done with it?

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
