First, a disclaimer... I have no idea about Linux, this is my first attempt to write a bash script in 10 years... so forgive me if it's a) not formatted properly, b) fails on your system, or c) can be improved.

My goal was to make one script for start, stop, status, and restarting Emu. I think I have everything working except that last MiniLogin.exe thing. I've tried eq4me's last suggestion, but I am getting a "Failed to open port 5999". If I run wine MiniLogin.exe by itself, I usually get it to work (though, connecting a client *still* isn't quite working hehe...)

Ok, this post is just about the script. So, take this, tweak,and hope it comes in handy. It's a little "heavy", but adds some checks and balances.

Drop this in your server dir, and run it as ./emu start|stop|status (one of those three options)

Not sure how to do the restart option. Anyone?
