I update all my server by a script, takes out the filename on all of the updated files and tar them to a tgz file. currently I manually update the servers by scp and unpacking. I only have 20 or so installed, so its not that much work.
This way I have an option to go back to a previous version if the new one crashes the server. I have (more or less) every version on the hlds/cs release since the start of steam laying around on disk. Every now and then I pack the whole directory structure, so I dont have to unpack five million files to install a server. /Bjorn On Wed, 30 Aug 2006, Jonathan wrote: > Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( > > I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: > > ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD > > What can be causing this?
