Hi EvilMacGuyver, I am using Windows Powershell<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/default.mspx>together with the Windows Task Scheduler to automate it. The task is started every morning at 7 o'clock and does the following:
*Stop all L4D server instances* [Powershell: stop-service l4d*] *Delete all content in the sprays-upload-and-download directory* (Working directory: *:\...\l4d\left4dead\downloads\) [Powershell: remove-item *] *Check for HLDS Update* [Command: HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game left4dead -dir *:\...\Left4Dead -verify_all] *Start all L4D server instances* [Powershell: start-service l4d*] More Powershell<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/msh.mspx>.
