I've attached the bash script that I've used and improved upon for years now to start my TF2 servers. It assumes there's a servercfgfile named server_<portnumber>.cfg that contains the settings specific for that instance, for example your server identity and logdir. It starts the first server on port 27015 and works it's way up in increments of 10.
Using the -strictportbind option just makes the server quit (and restart over and over if autoupdate is set) if one or more of the ports it wants to use is unavailable, instead of just picking a higher portnumber. For that reason I stopped using it, since I let the server assign all other ports by itself. If anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions about my script feel free to ask.
