Well, nemrun does check the steam.inf file to build a query to the master
to see if a newer version is available, and it does try to "verify the
update" after one
Hi,
Another thing I've been noticing about updating the servers anytime
recently is that most of the time, if not all of the time, a "104
connection reset by peer" occurs even when an update has (apparently)
fully completed.
If this did not occur, the steam client would exit with a normal return

Hi everyone,
The discussion in the last week or so has led me to implement a few
changes to the nemrun script that I've been thinking about for a little

Although I've said much of this already I'm making a separate post in its
own topic in hopes that Valve will give it some serious consideration, and
more importantly, do something about it to fix the problem. I am thankful

that isn't nemrun's fault. Remember, it's only doing a "steam -command

I think they released more files. Or, it is possible to be informed of an
update available before whichever master you're talking to has all of them
to feed you.

Yeah, I just forced another update by editing the steam.inf back to
1.1.8.8 and starting up my -verify_all version of my nemrun updater
script. It's pulling a bunch more files in now...

Of course the bigger problem is segfaulting on startup, which is
apparently happening for people who didn't have other problems. That's
probably where Valve needs to focus on right now, but it would be really
great if somebody could look into this steam.inf issue and fix it once
and for all.

OK here is the contents of the new steam.inf file (after first update
tonight):
PatchVersion=1.1.8.9
ProductName=tf
appID=440
My "off to the side" instance got far enough along in its -verify_all to
have pulled in the new steam.inf file, so I copied it into place on the
live servers tree

Anyway, the syntax above shows how you can have 1 rule that covers all of
the ports for your servers (adjust 27015 and 27034 as needed for your
setup) and a RANGE of sizes, iptables seemed happy enough with the syntax
here.

nemrun still seems to work fine to update cs:s and tf2, just not l4d2.
Haven't tried it with l4d1 yet but thinking of putting some of those back
