The wiki has an example script that should work fine as long as you 
know how to edit a text file.

this is very upsetting and disheartening to me that valve forced us
onto steamcmd but didn't have the decency to at least fix it so that
autoupdate works, or prep it so it runs properly.   :P

-steam_dir is the path to the directory that contains steamcmd. 
-steamcmd_script points to a script file that steamcmd can run via 
+runscript.

Incidentally, this is the number one reason to create a steamcmd 
script instead of just manually scripting it on the command line.

needs is in a single install.  Srcds.exe and hlds_linux go in

Forcing all clients to convert soon.

Is there ever going to be an automated conversion process for
servers, as this is turning into a big mess for my hosting 
company.
Pretty much all customers have to reinstall their servers which 
just
isn't feasible or we spend hours moving files around for each 
and
every single customer.

What is confusing me also is I notice new files under

Tf2server1/Orangebox/tf and tf2server1/tf. What I like to know 
is, do
we have to move everything back up a level to continue receiving
updates to the right folders.

Some clarification would be appreciated, as the game operators 
FAQ is
lacking.

Thanks

Subject: [hlds_announce] TF2 SteamPipe beta update released. 
Forcing
all clients to convert soon.

We've released an optional update to the TF2 SteamPipe beta. 
Here are
the change notes (since the last SteamPipe beta):

Team Fortress 2:
* Fixed network incompatibility causing custom names and 
descriptions
to not display on client

Source engine:
* Fix sprays trying to load from the wrong directory
* Restored VPK file cache, with tuned size to reduce memory 
usage and
improve client boot and map load times

This server is compatible with all currently running clients.
(SteamPipe and non-SteamPipe.)

We expect to flip the switch to force all clients to convert to
SteamPipe in a few hours.  (Approx 2:00 PM Seattle time.) At 
this
time, the "Steampipe beta" server which has just been released 
will
become the official server.  There will not be another update.

If you were waiting for the right time to start flipping your 
servers
to SteamPipe, now is it.

Thanks,
Fletch
