Then youll probably want to look into using crontab and the cron scripts provided in the Unreal3.2/ircdcron/ directory.

Yes. (And that IS the correct answer to your question.)

If you asked how to do it, i'd tell you:
Go to /etc/rc.d and create an executable shell script that will start your UnrealIRCd. And you're done.

The only thing i have to say about Grunt's sollution is that it starts UnrealIRCd as root which is strongly advised against. That doesnt however mean it wont work because if you provide the correct path it should work.

As for setting up your crontab (if you can) the first thing youll need to do is edit ircdchk at /path/to/ircdcron/ircdchk so that the paths to the ircd excutable and to the ircd.pid file are correct.

The next step is to use "crontab -e" and add the line found in ircd.cron at /path/to/ircdcron/ircd.cron and make sure the path in that line is the correct path to the ircdchk file.
