Thanks all for the insight. I've also been looking at the forked
server thread on alliedmods where it's mentioned that MM can be
symlinked, but sourcemod should not be.
I've got a pretty good idea now what I want to do after hearing how
other folks manage it. We use CPGS to manage the servers so it won't
be necessary to actually start/stop/restart them from the script -
what I'm looking to write is just some scripts for rapid updating of
metamod, sourcemod, and tf2, along with a rapid way to deploy a new
install with our standard plugin and config loadout.
Cheers!

Well i am no isp, so I don’t have to keep that in mind. Also we use
updater.smx which removes any symbolic links if a new update is out
on the
plugins. Looks nice the gui Ulrich, might come in handy for less
scriptfull people.
Only thing that was left, was there now an option to tell server owners
which custom content it is allowed to load? I think not right?

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Symlinked Server Setup
I am also using a symlink setup. My system has a masteruser which
owns the
masterfiles/server. This user is within the same group as the users that
own the actual gameservers. Linking serverplugins decreases the needed
adminsitration. Update mms/sm once and all your servers can make use of
updated binaries.
When I install a server or serverplugin like mms/sm I work in two
passes.
1. pass is to copy files from master a user needs to edit (incomplete
extension list und wrote down from my memory):
cd masterfolder/
find -type f -name "*.cfg" -o -name "*.ini" -o -name "*.smx" | while
read
file; do
if [ ! -d targetserver/`basename $file` ]; then mkdir -p
targetserver/`basename $file`; fi
cp $file targetserver/$file
done
2. pass symlinks the rest recusive. Previously copied files won´t get
overwritten:
cp -sr /absolutepath/to/masterserver/* /absolutepath/to/targetserver/
If you only have a few servers and do not mind using an interface, you
might be interested in easy-wi.com. It makes use of symlinks and has a
free version.

http://pastebin.com/TzULi9M4 it keeps the configs of all servers in a

to get default servers up and running quickly. Tested with tf2 and css.

Subject: [hlds_linux] Symlinked Server Setup
In light of the upcoming tf2 server switch to steampipe, I'm working on
a
new server setup which is symlinked, and I have a question I hope
someone
here can answer. Skip down two paragraphs to go straight to it, or read
on
for background on what I'm trying to do.
Background: What I ultimately want to do is have several tf2 server
directories (e.g. server1, server2, server3) which all have symlinks to
the files in a single "master" directory to which updates are
downloaded.
These servers (1, 2 and 3) can then be customized as to their
mapcycles/configs/etc, but don't use much additional disk space for
each
new install.
My question pertains to addons, specifically SM/MM). I recall reading
about some of this, but can't seem to hit the right combination of
keywords to find it again via google.
Here goes - Symlinking Sourcemod and Metamod: Can components of these
(esp. plugins, configs) be symlinked or is it necessary to have a
unique
copy for each server?
Also, is 232250 the final appid for tf2 steamcmd or will that become
440
at the actual switchover? Sorry if that's been answered before.
Thanks!
