I forgot to mention that in my case, I am updating a set of master/vanilla/unconfigured installations that will never ever actually start. They are instead used as referrals for symlinks.

Thus, getting the info from rcon is not a viable solution.

Since Fletcher says the game gets it's info from steam.inf anyway, that seems to indicate it being the definitive source of the local information.

I wish I could just "srcds_linux -game tf --version".

Maybe parsing the version information from the `status` output via RCON is more 
reliable.

On this subject, is there any way to determine the local version of
the installed srcds server?  I find the steam.inf files are unreliable
and only
TF2 has the current client/server version in it that I could compare
against the WebAPI.

Is there a better way of determining when srcds servers should be
updated other than the WebAPI?  I looked into Steam Condenser this
weekend but really didn't see anything interesting.

Advice from anyone who has already automated this this would be
appreciated.

Unfortunately, that stops me is the fact I have no way of checking
whether a new update came out and download the exact number. Although
api provides "ISteamApps / UpToDateCheck" which is the ability to
check the current version of the game engine required, but will not
let me in any way to check whether it was updated game engine.
