Systemd Unit

This mainly applies to CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 18.04+, there are advantages to using this method as it also enables monitoring of the TeamSpeak 3 Server as well as starting the TeamSpeak instance on boot.

Copy the following in to a systemd unit file of your choosing, we'll use /etc/systemd/system/teamspeak.service, you will need to change the lines WorkingDirectory, ExecStart, ExecStop and ExecReload if you installed the server in a different folder and the user= line if you made a UNIX user other than "teamspeak".

   [Unit]
   Description=TeamSpeak3 Server
   Wants=network-online.target
   After=syslog.target network.target
   
   [Service]
   WorkingDirectory=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/
   User=teamspeak
   Type=forking
   ExecStart=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh start initfile=ts3server.ini
   ExecStop=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
   ExecReload=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server_startscript.sh restart
   PIDFile=/home/teamspeak/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64/ts3server.pid
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

After you've saved the file you need to enable the unit by running :

   systemctl enable teamspeak

As a bonus, you can now use systemd to start, stop and reload your server by using

   systemctl start teamspeak
   systemctl stop teamspeak
   systemctl reload teamspeak
