Daniel, I'd suggest you do some reading up on Bash scripting, and take the time to learn at least the basics. Bash scripts can, and will, save you unimaginable amounts of effort and bother. I'm not saying you shouldn't accept f0rkz' offer of help, but take the time to understand what he is telling you and how it works. You will be glad you did.
Just a quick example of what I mean. I host my clan servers on weekend nights, and I host them on the same broadband connection that I host our website. So what I do to conserve bandwidth and make sure there are no performance issues is shut down the regular website and replace it with a minimal website and then start up the server. I used to have a check list of over twenty steps that I had to go through to complete that process, and of course there was always the chance I'd forget some step and end up with problems. Since I discovered the joys of scripting those 20+ steps have been reduced to one. I run the script, tell it what mod I want to run, and scripts and cron do everything else, including shutting down the game server in the early hours of the morning and reinstating the regular website.
