I have found a program that does just this, and its very useful, I use it a lot for some of my web-based applications that control server stuff, when I don't feel like opening steam, etc.
I don't remember where I found it, but you can find the C code on the URL listed below, it compiles on both FreeBSD and any variant of Linux with just started GCC installed (gcc -o srcds_rcon srcds_rcon.c) will work just fine. I would assume with minor changes in the include calls, it should compile and work just fine on windows machines as well. This was actually written for srcds too, you don't need the sv_enableoldqueries set 1 for this to work, like how you do with a lot of the other ones that are out there. This is the best one I've found. http://www.computer-core.com/srcds_rcon_c.htm It was originally found by me via some google search im sure, but I don't remember exactly what I was looking for, or what site had this. Give it shot, you can specify the password, ip and port in the source or you can just leave it default and use the command line options, which is what I do. -Jason L.

Hello Martin, You are saying one could send rcon messages to the server... how do you do that? I mean if hlds is running in the background, how can I send rcon messages to it? Qstat doesn't have such a function, and I didn't found any other program which does this.

Feature request: Is it possible to run a given shell-script/program from hlds/srcds when an update is available? Something like this line in server config: update_notify_exec "/usr/bin/send_mail_to_admin.sh" Would be nice, so a script can send a mail to the admin when a new update is available or restart the server, send rcon messages to current players... .
