Ah - why not use +servercfgfile to set each server to use a cfg other than the default of server.cfg, and then make a server1.cfg , server2.cfg, etc? You could completely do away with the +exec portion in that case, instead using '+servercfgfile server1.cfg'
If you want to, you can even still consolidate the settings that all the servers will have in common into one cfg (say, allservers.cfg) and then exec it at the start of the server-specific configs. If you already thought of this and decided against it for some reason I haven't thought of, then I apologize, but this seems like exactly what you want to do. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Rudy Bleeker" <[email protected]> Date: Sep 3, 2012 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] srcds_linux command line argument handling To: "Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list" < [email protected]> Hi Jeff, thanks for your suggestion. I was indeed already aware you could chain config files this way, but this isn't what I'm looking for. The reason I'm reporting this bug and want to have this functionality is for example when you're stacking multiple TF2 servers on one piece of hardware. I use one config file (with some others exec'ed from it as you suggest) to set the gamemode (cp, cfg, mvm), config replays, logging, etc. Then I want to exec another one from the command line which has the server identity in it, since this has to be different for every instance you start. If anyone has a suggestion for another way of doing this in a nice, modular fashion, please let me know.
