Script to help setup server on Linux

[Kobaz]

Hi Ork!

I've had a read across your script, and it's much nicer than mine. Mine was
what works on my bastardised server, and I'll try yours once I've got my
feet under me a bit (translation: my doctor has changed my prescriptions,
and I'm so shit faced I dare not look at a shell prompt! The other day I
typed "rm a_file_I_wanted_to_delete `ls`" without the double quotes due to
these bloody pain drugs.... forgot to hit enter between the rm and the ls....
as for the backticks, I have no idea! Lucky I believe in backups).

I guess the next step is to add some sed calls to allow for bot creation, and
calls to make, along with DB tracking and server version tracking, backups
and sourcing utils/sql files. I've been meaning to do that for a while now,
between hospital visits.

I'll eventually see how this works under different distros as well - although
your script looks like it should be happy regardless.

Kobaz,

I think some sort of sed script or similar for setting up bots/eqemuloginserver/etc would be nice. I started to go down
that path, but then realized that some people might not have a stable internet connection. I've got a fast one and
even getting the maps/source/etc only takes me 3 or 4 minutes, but should the SVN download fail you might need to
restart that process.

The problem with the sed scripts would be that you need to have downloaded the code repos, obviously, in order to run
said (or 'sed', heh) scripts. I'm not so sure building that into the 'setup script' would be good. However, we might be
able to make these as other little 'helper scripts' in the main folder (where the get scripts are) and allow the user to
optionally run these. That would be handy for me personally. Maybe a 'enable_bots.sh', 'disable_bots.sh', and
'setup_loginserver.sh' or something to do the appropriate tasks.

Just a few thoughts I had, when I started to go down that path. I just prettied up the scripts and posted it for some
feedback though, so I haven't headed far down the path.
