I use a combination of an init script (utilizing debian's start-stop-daemon) and monit, a process monitoring utility. I have monit set to start on boot, and it will start any applications that it is configured to monitor if they weren't already started.<br>
<br>init script example: <a href="http://www.anarchic-x.com/script/cod2-init.txt">http://www.anarchic-x.com/script/cod2-init.txt</a><br><br>monit can be installed via yum or apt-get<br><br>start-stop-daemon is available on debian/ubuntu, but I can provide an RPM for CentOS if anyone needs one.<br>
