Creating A Service On Linux

[Pawel Kowalski]

I just got my new VPS set up and its absolutely awesome! I am currently testing a game server on this box to see how it will run, however, my main function will be web site hosting.

I got the server set up just fine but when I disconnect from SSH it kills the game server process. So I got this script to start the server, how can I make this script execure on boot instead of having to activate it using SSH every time?

start.sh:

echo “Starting Server”
echo “cd ..”
echo “cd ..”
echo “cd /home/*user*/”
echo “sh start.sh”
screen -A -m -d -S servername /home/*user*/srcds_run -console -cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 26 -autoupdate -IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27015 +fps_max 200 -tickrate 66 -pingboost 3
echo “Server Starting…”
echo “Parameters srcds_run -console -cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 26 -autoupdate -IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27015 +fps_max 200 -tickrate 66 -pingboost 3″
echo “…Server Started”

Do you have an rc.local or something similar in your /etc/ directory among all of the rc.x files? If you do, then you should be able to enter a line to call your bash script from that user configuration startup file.
