I just added:

/home/tss/tss2_rc2/server_linux

to /etc/rc.d/rc.local on Redhat box

Search for crond, I've got it on my fedora, but i'm not near my machine now, so I cant give you any more accurate directions

Basically it's a scheduler, but you can also designate processes that need to be started at bootup

cron would be one way, but i think it's far easier and more elegant to use the init system. Usually Linux distribution would have a directory /etc/rc.local
In simple terms: It's like the Autostart group in Windoze. Whatever you put in there is started.

Thats wierd, if the path is correct it should start no probs. I'm assuming you dont need to change the permissions on the folder (we have both created a separate user account to use teamspeak it looks like) as I think everything started on boot is effectivly run by root. It may be worth checking you have a new line at the end of rc.local- linux can be a bit funny about some config files without a new line at the end on occasions. I'm afraid I dont really know what else to suggest other than double check the path you entered into rc.local and maybe try running the server from path / as root using /home/wwwemse/tss/etc etc as a test. I've never had a problem myself with rc.local in the past unless I put i the wrong syntax or path or something.
