[cod] Start COD4 Linux Dedicated via Webinterface

[escapedturkey]

Hrm. Be sure to check the permissions.

Is the webserver running as root? As good advice, always run a game 
server under a username, never under root.

If you need root to launch items try something like:

su - $username -c "cd && /somedir/gameserver.sh cod4 start"

:)
