[hlds_linux] Auto-Update Inquiry/Suggestion
Currently, when auto-update is turned on and updates to a game are released, we have to manually restart our server(s) so that auto-update will update the server during start up. Because we have to manually restart, there is X amount of time before our server(s) are updated and are usually empty since most of the clients have already updated. A suggestion of mine would be to make auto-update 1.) aware when updates are released and 2.) know when the server has players in it or not. Therefore, when auto-update knows there is an update available and realizes the server is empty, it could automatically issue the exit command to restart the server so that auto-update will run. In the meantime while Valve considers my suggestion, does anyone know some sort of practical way to have the server restart itself when an update is available? For someone who runs many servers, it is a slight hassle to restart each server manually so that auto-update can run. My apologies if something relative to this has already been discussed; I just re-joined the mailing list after many years of being unsubscribed. -Nate ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Auto-Update Inquiry/Suggestion
Something like this could be done with some scripting, but finding a trigger would be the tough. Without looking into this at all, What i would do is make a script and use qstat to check if the server is empty and if it is have it restart the server, just set a cronjob to whatever script you made. Thats one solution for automated updates, triggering it right when an update comes out would be harder since well, you need a trigger. Thats my quick take on it atleast. If you need and help lemme know.

[hlds_linux] Where does hlds gets it $HOME from?
Hi all I tried setting $HOME in a number of ways... latest was adding an export HOME=$(pwd) in the beginning of hlds_run, but it still goes with the users regular $HOME, which means that all the server started with the same user is fighting about the same $HOME/.steam folder. Any ideas to set $HOME correctly or force hlds_run to use a specific homedir?

Re: [hlds_linux] Where does hlds gets it $HOME from?
Thanks, but it doesnt work either... in hlds_run i have added - export HOME=$(pwd) export STEAMHOME=$(pwd) echo $HOME echo $STEAMHOME Using hlds_rnu + args gives me this - /home/gamesrv1 /home/gamesrv1 Auto detecting CPU Using Pentium II Optimised binary. Auto-restarting the server on crash Updating server using Steam. Checking bootstrapper version ... Failed to create directory /home/hldsuser/.steam Sun Dec 13 17:06:03 CET 2009: Steam Update failed, ignoring. So hlds_run doesnt care for $HOME nor $STEAMHOME Its still looking into /home/hldsuser which I removed for the purpose of debugging... So, and other ideas about setting a users homedir, which hlds_run will honor? ./Thomas On Sun, 2009-12-13 at 22:02 +0800, Shane Arnold wrote: STEAMHOME = `pwd` = current working directory STEAMHOME = /path/to/home echo '$STEAMHOME is the current path' On 13/12/2009 9:20 PM, Thomas Hjorth wrote: Hi all I tried setting $HOME in a number of ways... latest was adding an export HOME=$(pwd) in the beginning of hlds_run, but it still goes with the users regular $HOME, which means that all the server started with the same user is fighting about the same $HOME/.steam folder.

Sort of.

Re: [hlds_linux] Auto-Update Inquiry/Suggestion
You should use some plugin for example sourcemod plugin which manages empty servers and changes map even when they are empty (i know that there are bunch of them ar sourcemod.net)#160; Then your server will get updated anyway.

Re: [hlds_linux] Auto-Update Inquiry/Suggestion
The problem is, how catch that masterserver restartrequest message with sourcemod...? 2009/12/13 Zover Mirklo izvrash...@inbox.lv: You should use some plugin for example sourcemod plugin which manages empty servers and changes map even when they are empty (i know that there are bunch of them ar sourcemod.net)#160; Then your server will get updated anyway. Quoting Nikolay Shopik : Yep, if server is empty it may never be updated, but if update is pushed when game is going it works.

Re: [hlds_linux] Auto-Update Inquiry/Suggestion
But, if we dont try to catch it but presume that server is empy and so it could start autoupdate mapchange is needed and if server has plugin which changes map even when its empty then it gets restarted and updated anyway: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=501451 http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=570384 Quoting w4rezz : The problem is, how catch that masterserver restartrequest message with sourcemod...? 2009/12/13 Zover Mirklo : You should use some plugin for example sourcemod plugin which manages empty servers and changes map even when they are empty (i know that there are bunch of them ar sourcemod.net)#160; Then your server will get updated anyway. #160;Quoting Nikolay Shopik : Yep, if server is empty it may never be updated, but if update is pushed #160;when game is going it works. #160;On 14.12.2009 0:01, Nathan D. wrote: #160; I have noticed this but with Left4Dead 2, sometimes the map doesn't #160; change for a long time when the server is empty.
