Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine
SIGINT and SIGKILL are not commands, they are methods of killing processes used by programmers. Off the top of my head a SIGKILL can be done by using this command: kill -9 pid And a SIGINT is just a normal kill: kill pid Best to try and use the second one first as it will try to gracefully close the process. If that doesn't work try the first. pid is obviously the process id of the game server you are trying to get rid off.

[hlds_linux] search keys/steam group horribly unreliable
Hello everyone, it seems that the search key and steam group functions are horribly unreliable. For example i am often unable to join the server via search key unless i first restart the server then join, this seems to refresh it with the steam servers somehow?

Re: [hlds_linux] search keys/steam group horribly unreliable
Have you tried using 'mm_dedicated_force_servers' instead of the search key? I use that all the time and have no issues connecting to my server.
