[hlds] Why does my TF2 server start twice?
Hi, I recently installed SRCDS on my server. I followed this guide: http://stevenbenner.com/2010/11/how-to-set-up-a-team-fortress-2-dedicated-server-on-ubuntu/ However, when I use his method of running srcds as a service in /etc/init.d/, my server starts two instances... one on 20175 and subsequently another on 27016, in separate screen sessions. I thought it might be this section, which seems to repeat itself: su $SRCDS_USER -l -c screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS But removing the second line ends up making the server not start at all..

Re: [hlds] Why does my TF2 server start twice?
Starting a server that way isn't the best of ideas. Instead of starting it as a service, why not just start it as a normal screen from a non-privileged user? That way it doesn't require root to start/stop the process. Also, if you read the comments on that site, it mentions that it starts 2 instances, and how to fix it. *I had the issue as well, I am no expert but my solution was to comment ‘#’ out line 19* * * *replace ” screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS ” with “# screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS ” and I no longer have 2 instances.* The guide also has a few inaccuracies, such as saying that srcds won't run on 64 bit architecture. These days, I'd say the right way would be to have a dedicated non-privileged user for the tf2 server, and have nemrun to keep the server running and up to date. http://nephyrin.net/tools/nemrun/latest/ On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 3:11 PM, Brian br...@doublejump.eu wrote: Hi, I recently installed SRCDS on my server.

Hi, remove the second screen command, and everything will by fine. Leave only that one: su $SRCDS_USER -l -c screen -d -m -S $NAME $DAEMON $PARAMS 2012/2/10 Brian br...@doublejump.eu Hi, I recently installed SRCDS on my server.

Ubuntu's crontab supports the @reboot flag, so you can use crontab as your server's user to start it every time the machine boots. I actually use this along with nemrun.

Oh wow, now that sounds useful. Thanks for that advice! I was having trouble figuring out how to properly start stuff like our hlstats.

Anyone know how configure a bat file to check for an update as soon as it's released, setup with task scheduler?
