I agree. L4D isn't as much of an issue as it appears to restart itself frequently when it goes from in-use to hibernating. But for other games like TF2, CSS etc. chucking a "0 5 * * * killall srcds_i486" into the crontab of the user running your games servers is useful, as long as the startup script restarts it, or run it in a simple perpetual while loop or something similar.
