+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# Start a headless MegaGlest game server (and keep it running)
+#
+# Using this script, a headless game server is started, waiting for players to 
+# connect (if your firewall configuration permits). Players connect and start a
+# game. As soon as the game ends, the server will quit, and this script will 
+# start up a new server immidiately. This is a stability measure to  rule out 
+# the unlikely case where side effects (such as memory leaks or corruption) 
+# could drain on system resources.
+#
+# For this to work, Internet originated traffic must be able to reach the 
+# server on the following ports:
+# TCP port 61357: game protocol port
+# TCP port 61358: FTP control port
+# TCP ports 61359 to 61366: FTP data ports
+#
+# Once publishing to the master server succeeded (this can be verified at
+# <http://master.megaglest.org>) you may connect to your headless game server
+# using a copy of MegaGlest you have installed on a Desktop computer. The first
+# user connecting to a headless server controls it. If this user disconnects, 
+# the next user who connects (or had already connected) takes control.
+#
+# Please read http://wiki.megaglest.org/Dedicated_Server for more information
