I finally got it working by putting the below in my crontab. I am not sure if I need the delay...or to direct the output to NULL. I tried to delay it in various ways during my trial and error without success though, so maybe the redirected output? Oh well...just glad it is working.
Code:
@reboot sleep 30 && /home/eqemu/server/server_start_with_login.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
