Gentoo or CentOS? You kind of used both in the same somehow. "centoo"

Cant you use serverdoc?

[rustydusty1717]

Serverdoc is for windows. Are you using Windows? Perhaps Gentoo or CentOS? CentOS and Gentoo both, you have to add something like the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

cd /hlds
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 -pingboost 2 -autoupdate &


That will boot your server on reboot. It may take a while though. I remember on my CentOS VPS it took a while for my servers to boot up on VPS reboot.

I now run Debian, the boot config for it is in /etc/init.d/bootmisc. I know you're not on Debian, but just incase you ever run Debian, you'll know where the boot config is. Google always works wonderfully for finding ALL this info out. It's always best to learn how to fix things yourself, or atleast try to. Google is your bestfriend .

In Gentoo, it would need to be set in /etc/conf.d/local.start. If you start a server in this way, I recommend using the "screen" configuration that we talk about in the guide, so that it continues on to later commands. But, if you preferred, you could use & at the end of the line to run it in the background, instead.

Ahh, yes. If you ever think you'll want to log back into the servers terminal, use the screen command. I have never found a reason to once it's started, so I just use &. To each their own though

On CentOS, you should need to add your startup line in /etc/rc.local.

Download WinSCP and connect to the VPS using SFTP. Same login as your regular one. You can edit all the files through that client.
