Huh, on mine it works as follows: root:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/games/steam1/l4d_demo# nc localhost 9000 find status: List the status of all subprocesses. broadcast: Send a command to all subprocesses. find: find commands containing a string. shutdown: Tell the server shutdown once all players have left. This is a toggle. quit: immediately shut down the server and all its child processes.
Edit: Just noticed Chris Green's reply... I don't get spew from the children in the master console, but imo that's A Good Thing ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Parker > Sent: 16 November 2008 19:51 > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Broadcast messages > > Hello, > > I am launching the server with "-fork 8" and "-netconport 9000+##".
