Noobie Needs Help

[shaneb]

I know this is something simple prolly and I am just overlooking it.
Was wandering if I could use the great minds of the internet to get this done. I run a Debian server for a game server. Every time I get about 60 people in the server and it goes for a map change it takes a dump. I need to create a process in the background that is basically a checker to check and see if this process is running, if not then execute the command to fire up the server. I tried doing it through webmin, as the box is in Germany and I am not, and it didn't work. In addition I would like to set it up to automatically fire this server at boot, but also had issues with that. Any help the great minds out there can give a Noobie (3yrs. self taught), I would greatly appreciate.

Here is the command I am currently using to fire off the server.
/home/wyd1/bf2/nohup ./start.sh &
