You may have to send a first newline to the input pipe to get the
server to start working. Try if that works. If not, you're out of
luck, I guess. The console handling of hlds is not yet what it
should be, although it has improved.

[hlds_linux] starting the srcds_i486 in the background

[Matt Judge]

Hi,
I am trying to run srcds_i486 as a background process like thus;
./srcds_i486 -game cstrike +ip 82.136.23.33 +map de_dust +maxplayers 20
> ${O_PIPE} < ${I_PIPE} &
If I run that same command line without any redirection (with or without
the ampersand)  it works fine.  If I do any redirection, either input or
output, the daemon just hangs about doing nothing.
My aim is to be able to parse the log file real time and send commands
to the daemon from a perl wrapper, so suggesting screen is not a solution.
If not, I will have to code an alternative,
Cheers,
Matt.
