Single server setup incrementing ports?

[benbrooks]

Hi,

I'm currently running a Left4Dead server on my Home server (Running Ubuntu Server edition 9.04)

Currently, whenever the server restarts it's port gets increased by 1.

For example, When I started, it would run on port 27015, but after 3 restarts it's now running on 27018.

What could be causing this?

This is my start script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Left4Dead Server"
sleep 1
screen -A -m -d -S l4d-server ./srcds_run -console - game left4dead +map l4d_hospital01_apartment.bsp +maxplayers 8 -autoupdate -port 27015

Edit: I also don't have more than 1 srcds process running. I made sure to killall before I started it each time.

Then you didn't shutdown the previously server.

Just rebooted the server and it's back down to 27015 and seems to be staying there now. Must have been doing something wrong to begin with.

But I'll bet if you start it agian now it will have the port 27016.

It's abit hard to see that the server is actually closed. (In my opinion).

Nope, Seems to have stayed running on 27015 now. Thanks for the help
