The -fork with no arguments looks to be a bug in the srcds_run script. I just spotted that the other day. There is a test in the script
if [ -z "$NUMFORKS" ]; then HL_CMD = "$HL_CMD -fork $NUMFORKS" fi This should be -n "$NUMFORKS" The -fork with no numeric argument does nothing. It will effectively get ignored (with no warning). -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of gamead...@127001.org Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 2:25 AM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [l4d] no fix ? I'm confused about your answer re: fork. Why is it in your command line with no number? It's certainly not going to do anything positive like that! > -----Original Message----- > From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com > [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Zesi > Sent: 16 July 2009 20:47 > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [l4d] no fix ? > > hi Chris, > > no changes!
