you would normall do something like:
Code:
./ioq3ded.i386 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game <if you have a mod> +exec serverconfiguration.cfg
preferably in a bash script that has a cronjob for startup.
There are several ways of setting it up and there are plenty of already written posts on the subject, give it a go with the 'search' function here on the site..

These scripts are specific to distributions, if you use Debian or Ubuntu you can check /etc/rc?.d scripts, make a new one and set it using sysv-rc-conf tool for expl.
