Cool. Will take a look at serverdoc. Think I will stick with IIS for the moment, now that I have it working. Don't currently have a spare PC for Linux. Also interested in having a couple of bots to keep the server from being empty. Noob again, is there a BEST mod for this or only one?

Go to serverdoc.com and get serverdoc. Do it today. It restarts your sever when it crashes, and works wonderfully. I wish there was a linux equivalent. If you start the server without a map specified, it will start and then just sit there and do nothing until you tell it which map to use. I put my startup map in server.cfg In mapcycle.txt, do NOT include ".bsp" in the map names. The server will ignore such entries. Just list the name of the map, without the .bsp extension. A good I use a linux server running apache for sv_downloadurl. I gave up on IIS a long time ago. My sv_downloadurl entry looks like this: sv_downloadurl "http://<my host>/ookssteamingpileofcrap/gearbox" It works fine, I've had it up for a long time like this.

No Half-Life / Valve When you get up this morning (I finally did, how can it be so late?) be sure to tell us what you did to fix it, what kept it from working. This way future generations can benefit from your experiences. Getting a half-life server running can be intimidating if you have never done it, and sometimes it takes just one simple thing to keep it from working. Us old timers take all this for granted, but there are young pups out there that have never done this before that might want to take a shot at it.

Must sleep now… Check it out if you can spare the time.
