[cod] Autostart COD4/WaW linux server at boot

[Pete]

Try something like:
sudo -u <username> screen -mdLS <screen_session_name> bash -c
"/path/to/some_start_script.sh"
the some_start_script.sh can just be a continuous while loop, so when it
crashes, it just restarts.

You can create a /etc/init.d/games file and use that to start/stop/restart
servers with some bash scripting.
Then you can add the games service to your multiuser runlevel (5 on redhat
systems, 3 on debian based )
