Well, maybe that wasn't it. What I was trying to do was use SourceMod and AMX Mod X commands from the console. This is what I've come up with now that works.
command="say test\015";su -c "screen -S srcds -X eval 'stuff \"$command\"'" cc-server I expect that I don't need the $command variable, but I am going to be using this in a script anyway, so the contents of the command will be in a variable. So what was required was the escaped double quotes. Drek Crazy Canucks wrote: > I think I was flummoxed by a charset problem.
