I mentioned the exit code too, but i also read another mail after that stating it does have an error code other then 0 when it exits. You can use that. (check the other mails about that subject)

I noticed that css and hl2mp now respect the -strictportbind option too. I've updated my control script. One thing that I noticed is that unless the -norestart option is also given, the server will loop forever, trying to start. This was verified with TF2, CSS, and HL2MP. That's not good because of the benchmark going before the ports resource check and whatnot. Good thing for the ten second sleep. I would propose that the desired behavior is that for any startup error, the error should be given on stderr and an appropriate exit code be given. The server process should only restart if it has reached a certain point of validity, where it can be considered up and running. After all, I imagine that the auto-restart function is intended as a crash recovery option for valid runnable servers. I guess could always use -norestart in my own control script and write my own while loop to restart on crashes... See, this is where exit codes are useful. That srcds_run script could trap that easily in the while loop you've got there. Oh well, I'll think about it. l4d and l4d2 do not seem to know about "-strictportbind" yet. I realize there is the -fork option that makes it more complicated. I would just assume to make the two options incompatible together.
