[hlds] SRCDS running as a service - How to get console output

[Steve -Andy- De George]

Do any of you run as a service? I have mine configured with srvstart.exe which 
works great. However, since it is running as a service and under the system 
account, I have no console window. How can I get that window to appear or it's 
specific output to log to a file somewhere? 

The problem I have sometimes is with L4D2 and now tonight after the windows fix 
for TF2, sometimes the games just stop responding. The server no longer pings 
and is offline, but the srcds.exe process is still running in memory and I have 
no idea why or what it is doing.

Thanks,
Andy

on windows 2008 and newer there's the Interactive Service Detection
or you can use the -condebug command line switch to write all console output
to gamedir\console.log
