step by step *nix server help please?

[bluegum]

Ok i got the nix server..
it says to type

./cod_lnxded

and thats it??

i am totally new to *nix..

what .cfg file does it look for when i just type that command?
how does the server start/ stop?

also the readme says this:::

When you see "Started tty console (use +set ttycon 0 to disable)", the
server has started, but you need to start a map before the server will
accept connections. At this point, type:

map mp_chateau


is there not a way to get a mp to start automaticlaly?


please dont yell im used of running windows servers..
and totally lost on this


and there seems to be 0 help out there other then go look at quake 3???

can someone please write a dummies guide to running a COD *NIX server????

i have a .cfg in the /main dir..

Actually, your command line should look more like this:

./cod_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 000.000.000.000 +set net_port 28960 +exec <server.cfg> +set fs_homepath pd/cod +map_rotate

If you know your way around Linux, you should be able to execute this without having the console come up. You will need a config file or you can use one of the built in config files:
server_dm.cfg
server_tdm.cfg
server_sd.cfg
server_re.cfg

Don't try server_bel.cfg until they get that fixed. It will crash your server.
