Try something like:<br>sudo -u <username> screen -mdLS <screen_session_name> bash -c "/path/to/some_start_script.sh"<br>the some_start_script.sh can just be a continuous while loop, so when it crashes, it just restarts.<br>
<br>You can create a /etc/init.d/games file and use that to start/stop/restart servers with some bash scripting.<br>Then you can add the games service to your multiuser runlevel (5 on redhat systems, 3 on debian based )<br>
