Yes you can. This is basically what the forked mode is doing with all the ##
expansion.
I have two wrapper scripts that I use to do this sort of thing. The first just
loops through the count launching the helper script with the number and action.
The second then substitutes in the $NUM into the command line. To make the
launching faster, I set the RDTSC_FREQUENCY environment variable so each
instance doesn't have to run the calibration step.
These are just snippets from the init scripts that should give you some idea of
what to do.
=====
if [ "$ACTION" == "start" -o "$ACTION" == "restart" ]
then
cd "$SRCDS_ROOT"
#RDTSC_FREQUENCY=disabled
RDTSC_FREQUENCY=`$SRCDS_ROOT/srcds_run -game left4dead2 +quit | perl -n
-e 'print $1 if (/FREQUENCY to (\d+)/);'`
export RDTSC_FREQUENCY
fi
for NUM in `seq 1 $SRCDS_COUNT`
do
$HELPERSCRIPTNAME $NUM $ACTION
RETVAL="$?"
if [ $RETVAL != 0 ]
then
exit $RETVAL
fi
done
=====
MAP=c1m1_hotel
NETCONPORT=$(($NUM - 1 + 9000))
STEAMPORT=$(($NUM - 1 + 27000))
CFG=`printf server/server%02d.cfg $NUM`
srcds_run -game left4dead2 +map $MAP +exec $CFG \
-netconport $NETCONPORT \
-netconpassword <password> \
-steamport $STEAMPORT

Hi,
Hmm, after more testing I can't seem to run any number of forks
properly, with children core dumping regularly when I use a forked
server... A non-forked server seems to run just fine. Anyone else have
this problem?
I'm using a 64-bit Debian Lenny server (HP DL140 G3).
Can I run several instances out of the same install directory without
using forks? E.g. running several different servers on different ports
all out of the same directory?
Cheers,
Chris
