Besides moving to some form of game server management system, an easier less technical way may be to simply make an 'update configs' batch file that allows you to copy a single config file to all servers at once.
Eg, create an 'update.bat' file and type the appropriate copy commands: copy default.cfg ..\server1\tf2\server.cfg .. etc So then you just need to click that file after editing your config template. - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Hartland Sent: Friday, 22 August 2008 3:17 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Multiple servers, same configs A hard link to a file is indistinguishable from the original directory entry; any changes to a file are effectively independent of the name used to reference the file. Hard links may not normally refer to directories and may not span file systems. A symbolic link contains the name of the file to which it is linked. The referenced file is used when an open(2) operation is performed on the link. A stat(2) on a symbolic link will return the linked-to file; an lstat(2) must be done to obtain information about the link. The readlink(2) call may be used to read the contents of a symbolic link. Symbolic links may span file systems and may refer to directories. Junctions, the closest thing windows prior to 2008 has to links, is more like a hardlink than a soft link but is only valid for directories.
