+Edit: August 2016 latest ubuntu don't have ia32-libs package anymore. You can get ArmA 2 server running by installing lib32stdc++6 instead, like this:

 There might be lot of garbage in the log, in this example "dubbingradio", then use command with grep like this:
 <code>
-tail -f log.bis.2302.txt | grep -v dubbingradio
+tail -f log.bis.2302.txt | grep -v -e dubbing -e RadioProtocol -e "No speaker given"
 </code>
+Use the -e parameter to add each string you want to skip, if its not a single word, use quotes like in the no speaker given string.

 **Remember** the above is just an **example** and your own server should use unique path + file names to make them random so that nobody can guess their names!
+====== Howto Run Two Servers in One Computer ======
+So you want to run two ArmA 2 Dedicated Linux servers on one computer eh? Here is how you do it.
+First of course you need to configure one basic working server (obvious).
+Then you start to create additional directories for your second server, in our purpose we call that server directory "serverpmc".
+So here we go, first go to your working default server directory and issue commands:
+<code>
+mkdir serverpmc
+mkdir serverpmc/mpmissions
+</code>
+Now you have the basic directories setup.
+Then copy over the signature keys directory as most likely because you run two servers you run different addons (at least in our example) so you want individual keys directorys:
+<code>
+cp -r keys serverpmc/
+</code>
+Then we move the server config for your second server, in our example we call it server2.cfg:
+<code>
+mv server2.cfg serverpmc/
+</code>
+Also move the startup script which you use for second server, in our example we call it arma2oaserver2:
+<code>
+mv arma2oaserver2 serverpmc/
+</code>
+Now we are ready to go into the newly created directory, first we can make the symlinks there:
+<code>
+cd serverpmc
+ln -s ../addons addons
+ln -s ../basic.cfg basic.cfg
+ln -s ../common common
+ln -s ../dta dta
+ln -s ../expansion expansion
+ln -s ../server server
+ln -s ../x x
+</code>
+Notice the 'x' directory, that is what we at PMC Tactical call our user made addons dir, for example we have <serverroot>/x/vte/ for Vietnam: The Experience mod and <serverroot/x/pmc_51km_desert/ for PMC 51km Desert terrain. Simple to story all mods in one nice directory.
+Now you have created the necessary symlinks. Final step is to edit your arma2oaserver2 startup script and setup this new directory as home directory and possible the config as well as log file names.
+All done, then just copy your individual missions into mpmissions/ dir for this server and run ./arma2oaserver2 start to launch your second server :)
