Yeah, I get that 'steam' is an old part of the HldsUpdateTool. I was
trying to rubber duck the problem and point out this should probably
call steamcmd.sh, instead of the legacy steam binary.
Also, thanks Doctor for your awesome auto_steam_update plugin :)

In trying out SteamCMD with the Team Fortress 2 Beta, a clean install
seems to be missing something which would allow auto-update to function
correctly. Perhaps I am missing something obvious, or doing something
wrong. So I'll document my setup to reproduce.
I restarted the TF2 Beta server after the update was shipped last night
via `_restart` on the console. It shuts down the server, but just comes
back up saying "Master Server Requesting Restart", and never actually
updating the server. Isn't the dedicated server supposed to auto-update
via steamcmd, or is auto-update not implemented? I blew away the whole
install and re-installed from scratch to see if I could reproduce the
problem.
# adduser steamcmd
$ su - steamcmd
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ wget
http://media.steampowered.com/**client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz<http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz>
$ cd ~/bin && tar zxvf ../steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
$ bash -l
$ steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_update 229830 validate +quit
$ $GAME_DIR/srcds_run -autoupdate ...
So here might be relevant output from when the TF2 Beta server is started
Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary: ./srcds_linux
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
WARNING: Failed to locate steam binary.
WARNING: Could not locate steam binary:, ignoring.
Which is from Line #300 of srcds_run, and clearly shows `which steam`.
Now, I don't know if this should be looking for `steamcmd.sh`, `steam.sh`,
or the old `steam` binary which hldsupdatetool downloads. Running `find
-type f -iname "steam"` returns nothing in this cleanly installed steamcmd
managed home directory.
If a `steam` binary is needed, which I expect provides auto-update
functionality. Why hasn't steamcmd downloaded that `steam` binary and put
it into this managed directory? If that is not the case, where did I go
wrong?
