Good question. I'm surprised we don't have it mentioned in our ulx_readme.txt file.

Copy the /addons/ulx/cfg to your gmod/ root.. Answer yes to when it asks about cfg folder already existing.
Once that's done, go into gmod/cfg/server.ini - that is ULX's ini file, not to be confused with server.CFG, which is Source server settings file.
Once in server.ini, you'll see all the various things you can add/edit/set up on server start/map change.

Additional tip.. if you have special items you want set for special maps, see /gmod/cfg/maps and create a <mapname>.ini

If you only want it to advertise until next map change/server restart, see "ulx help". I think the command is "ulx addCadvert". Don't hold me to that.

It is in the readme JamminR, the problem is that no one ever reads it.

I just searched the readme for server.ini ... didn't find it

[EDIT]
From the readme
"Check out the configs folder in ulx for some more goodies."

However, 95% of server hosts have no idea where that is, because they never read any server tutorial

So i am assuming that by copying the cfg to the main gmod folder that ulx will use this before the other folder?  I have added my uppl settings to the ulx/cfg/server.ini and by copying it to the gmod/cfg/ then it will be save from updates and will be used instead of the other file?

exactly.
It checks all of the top level folders first.
eg.

root/motd.txt
cfg/server.ini

That way when you update ULX you wont have to worry about these files being overridden by the update.

And as far as I know, this is true of just about any addon config file, since the addons files are 'virtual'.
