This is pretty basic unix stuff, but I guess you have to learn it from
somewhere. :-) Put a & at the end of the (or any) command line, to put
that command in "background". eg.
emacs -f server-start &

Sure. This depends on which shell you're using, but each shell has a
startup file that is run every time you log in. For bash, it's .profile
(or .bashrc, both are used and both work) in your home dir. For tcsh
and the like, it's .cshrc. Putting the above command (with the &) in
that file will run it every time you log in.
Note that the file is run *every* time, so hopefully the command will
not start more than one instance of the server, when run multiple times.
