@skuzad25, if you didn't figure it out yet, it can't find the serverDZ.cfg for some reason... Also instead of a bat file, I'd create a .sh file, and pass arguments for DayZServer_x64.exe to Wine directly.

P.S. Not sure how well is Wine going to work, but seems like an interesting experiment

@Moondarker, this is no longer an issue as DayZ Server is now fully supported with Linux. They rolled out support in the latest update, a day ago! I'm so happy they chose to support it because Linux servers are cheap and reliable. Thanks for the reply though, wish me luck in my server making endeavors.
