You might try moving some of the +options into a single startup script and +exec them all at once. For example I am pretty sure that +servercfgfile, +motdfile, +map, +exec could all be executed from a startup script.

Starting a tf2 server, with the search path options being able to add multiple search paths and all other stuff to run multiple servers from 1 install makes my startup line rather big. Can this be bumped up a bit or can the search paths be moved into a file or anything else? As example: screen -A -m -d -S tradeunusual ./srcds_run -debug -game tf +servercfgfile server_tradeunusual.cfg +ip 144.76.59.36 -port 27015 +clientport 27030 -replayserverdir tradeunusual -maxplayers 32 +motdfile motd_tradeunusual.txt +map trade_post_a34 -pidfile ~/tf/tradeunusual.pid -autoupdate -steam_dir /home/lzgames/steamcmd/ -steamcmd_script /home/lzgames/steamcmd/tf.txt +exec autoexec_tradeunusual.cfg +mm_pluginsfile addons/metamod/metaplugins_tradeunusual.ini +sm_basepath addons/sourcemod_tradeunusual +sv_logsdir logs_tradeunusual/ -insert_search_path tf/servercustom/trade Gives me about 577 characters. I've got in my scripts ~/steamcmd but it writes it out full in the script though. I could change the name of the server to reduce a bit more. And yes I could add some of these options in my server.cfg, but I rather keep them outside so I can easily create new servers.
