I figured out the automated check:
/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login
<steam@login> +app_update 730 +quit
And have it mailed to me:
/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login
<steam@login> +app_update 730 +quit | mail -s "Counter-Strike 2 update"
<your@email>
And put it in cron for a daily check at 6AM and 6PM:
0 6,18 * * * /usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir
"/home/beringer/cs2-ds" +login <steam@login> +app_update 730 +quit |
mail -s "Counter-Strike 2 update" <your@email>
Still have to restart the server after an update, but at least now I get
a notification and see if there was an update, so at the moment this
works for me :)

Hi Mecha,
Thanks for your reply.
May I ask what your update script looks like? Maybe it's an idea to
use cron and do a daily update(s) in stead of checking the API.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Marcel

I am doing basically the same thing I do with other Source games:
I have a "check" script that runs every hour. It checks information
from the game's steam.inf file using the Steam API update check URL
(example:
http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v1?appid=$SERVER_APPID&version=$SERVER_CURRENT_VERSION&format=xml
<http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/UpToDateCheck/v1?appid=$SERVER_APPID&version=$SERVER_CURRENT_VERSION&format=xml>)
to see if a newer version of the app is available in Steam.
If so, it then kicks-off an "update" script that basically invokes
the SteamCMD app update for that appid (730 now for CS).
Seems to be working, but still keeping an eye on it.

Hi,
Is there a solution for auto updating a CS2 dedicated server on
linux?
Does '-autoupdate' do the trick in the startup line?
I hope someone has a solution, I am now daily updating manually with
'steamcmd' and 'app_update 730'.
Best regards,
Marcel
