couple of questions -- why are you rebooting the machine? Just to kill the hlds process? There are better ways, and you won't lose connectivity during the process.. Personally, i run hlds under screen so that I can always access its console -- simply kill that screen session, and hlds will die right along with it. If you don't run under screen, hlds will not have a console to write to, and will never start up correctly (IIRC) so you probably want to do something like this: exec /usr/bin/screen -c ~games/.screenrc -S HLcstrike ~games/half-life/HLcstrike where HLcstrike is a shell script containing the commands that you use to start it up. My screenrc looks like this: <-------------->8 cut here 8<-------------------> multiuser on acladd admin1,admin2,games,root startup_message off scrollback 2000 bindkey \003 detach bindkey \033 detach detach <-------------->8 cut here 8<-------------------> I like multi-user, so that any of my admins can attach to the server and see what's going on. You don't have to use it. the two bindkeys set up control-c and escape to detach from screen, and the final detach makes sure that any new screens auto-detach from the parent. -- [ smime.p7s of type application/x-pkcs7-signature deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
