Move into your americas army 'System' folder

On our fresh install you would use:

cd ~/armyops/System

./server-bin GLOBAL map-filename 

(replace map-filename with your choosen map, bridge, insurgent_camp, radio_tower, etc.)

(Optional command-line arguments -Port=1716 -Multihome=0.0.0.0 override settings in aa25.ini)

Additional pb commands can be added by creating ServerMessage.cfg in the "pb" folder and adding them there.
