On a side note, while its OK to use ~ on a command-line with steamcmd,
don't use it within the actual program, as steamcmd itself doesn't
expand it. This includes not using it in a script you run using the
+runscript option.
Speaking of which, I'm surprised you guys aren't just using it via a
runscript instead of passing a whole bunch of command line options.
runscript is documented on the wiki.

I don't exactly know if steamcmd accepcts parent directory '..'
Maybe it's better to use an absolute path or use expanduser/dir like
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/hlserver
+app_update 90 validate +exit
The shell expands the home-directory to an absolute path.
In shellscript this can help, if you executing your shellscript from a
directory outside your server:
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir `cd ../hlserver;
pwd` +app_update 90 validate +exit
In this case the command `cd ../hlserver; pwd` execute a subshell and
pwd prints the current directory as an absolute path. The shell will
execute first the substitute command and replace the command with the
output. So, a litte background....
But try first the absulute path and post the output.

here is what I use on Linux
directory layout
install (hldsupdatetool is here)
hlserver (game server)
steampipe (steamcmd.sh)
if I want to use hldsupdatetool to install the original half-life maps
cd install
./steam -command update -game valve -dir ../hlserver/ -verify_all
or the original opposing force maps.
./steam -command update -game gearbox -dir ../hlserver/ -verify_all
to update the server to steam pipe
cd ../steampipe
(run once)
./steamcmd.sh
exit
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../hlserver
+app_update 90 validate +exit

Maybe +logout +quit is better, but valve don't tell us about thier

I assume you're using command-line options. If so, just stick +quit at the
end.

Make sure that SteamCMD is running on the account with the correct
permissions.
In addition, all of the files that SteamCMD uses, both the upgrade tools,
server files and ~/Steam and ~/steam must have the correct user
permissions.
Don't use chattr on any of the server files. In bash script use correct
PATH var.
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/etc

Hi,
I noticed that when trying to update a server the steamcmd tool just
quits but the download of the server is still running in the background
(as a thread?!). (checked with garrysmod)
This makes it nearly impossible to use in bash scripts. Am I making
somewthing, or is this tool still just a pain in the ass?
