Hi Lars.


I start my server using a script, and this gets around that issue
(modified from an online script):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

if ( ps awwwx | grep 'cod_lnxded' | grep 'CoD' ) >> /dev/null
then
        echo "Call of Duty server still UP!"
                exit 22
else

        cd /usr/local/games/CoD/files/

        start=`date '+%H:%M on %d/%m/%y'`
        echo "CoD server started @ $start" >> /usr/local/games/CoD/CoD2.log

/usr/local/games/CoD/files/cod2_lnxded +exec CoD2config.cfg +map_rotate
>> /usr/local/games/CoD/CoD2.log 2>&1 &

fi

The original script can be found at the bottom of this page:

Hope that helps.
