and a few more lines stating my IP and port and stuff then watch dog kicks in and shuts down tty
:disgust: :???: :bash: :banghead:
It’s shutting down because you haven’t loaded a map, so there’s nothing for the server to do.
Change com_watchdog_cmd so it execs your gametype config (campaigncycle.cfg, objectivecycle.cfg, etc.). Then it will load up the first map instead of shutting down.
Whilst this will work, even better would be to add:
+exec server.cfg
to your server startup command line (if not already there) and add the line
exec campaigncycle.cfg
at the end of your server.cfg file (use the cycle file that matches your preferred game type). This way, your server will start up correctly, without the need for resorting to the watchdog mechanism.
BTW: Those “couldn’t execute” lines you get in your startup output are completely normal.
HTH.
Thx for the help. I am going to give it a try at lunch today. I will let ya know if that worked. Thx again
WHOOT HOOT it worked… thx again for all the help guys, 
I just +exec server.cfg and it worked. already had it looking for campaigngcycle.cfg in server.cfg.
I wonder why it did not find server.cfg before. :drink:

Do you mean that you add that to et.ded? I been having the same problem on my local linux machine. Trying to get ready to load a dedicated server that my clan has rented and need to make sure that I can get it to run dedicated. A linux noob yes but a quick learner.
I usually create some script that executes et, like this:
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory
./et +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg
As mentioned above, load a map (or a map cycle) at the end of the server.cfg.
If you only run a dedicated server, it’s possible to lower the com_hunkmegs, as the server doesn’t require as much RAM as a client.
Also very usefull is “screen”. Have a look at “man screen”.
I`ve renamed the original server.cfg to autoexec.cfg and did change/add some settings, im also useing the campaign.cfg and added some settings too (startup of punkbuster), probably everything can be put into 1 config but i didnt have that knowlegde at that time (and dont bother about it anymore eather).
I do start up our server now with: screen ./etded
When it is running i just CTRL-A-D out of it.
This is how our config looks like (autoexec.cfg):
