One could make a bash script to check the port availability and only start
the server if it is free. Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
PORT=27015
if [[ $(netstat -nul | grep $PORT) ]]
then
echo "Port $PORT already in use, not starting SRCDS"
else
./srcds_run $*
fi
Now instead of using srcds_run directly, you would call this script. Of
course you can customize it to your heart's contents as you see fit.
