Meh. Valve should unify this at long last, so we don't get those
questions anymore.
- On Windows, the server update tool is called "hldsupdatetool.exe". The
tool to install this tool is called "hldsupdatetool.exe" as well. (Yeah,
kinda stupid, I give you that.)
- On Linux, the server update tool is called "steam". The tool to
install this tool is called "hldsupdatetool.bin".
- Alfred infers additional brainpower on the Linux side of the fence,
expecting us to be able to deduce the correct Linux equivalents from the
Windows instructions he cross-posts to [hlds] and [hlds_linux].
Unh... please, Alfred? Three-month prior warning if you wish, but could
we please get something like "hldsupdatetool-install" and
"hldsupdatetool"? (.exe at the end for Windows platforms, obviously...)
It would be much easier for newbies to the server to understand what you
are talking about, as well as exclusively designating the "one-shot"
nature of the installation program.
Thanks.

P.S. "HLDS installation up to date" is cultural heritage! You must not
change it! :-D Yeah, I'd rather have "Dedicated Server installation up
to date", since it's not only HLDS anymore, but SRCDS and third-party
DSes as well.

with hldsupdatetool you mean the steam binary, coz using
hldsupdatetool.bin
with options does work, and steam steams to update itself with those
options. I guess that is what you mean, if os, how does it help? when i
update srcds nothing seems to be changed?
and last, why does updating srcds end with a "HLDS installation up to
date"?

This update fixes the lagging problem seen earlier in the week when
certain backend services are unavailable.
