Create the file "updatehl2.sh" and make it executable.
Put this in it and modify it to your needs, ie; change it's location.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "updating HL2 Server"
sleep 1
./steam -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir /home/yourusernamehere/hl2mp

Run from a terminal, let it finish, run it again to make sure it's really up to date. Done.

Untip, this might be what you're missing and the reason for the error you get. And WHY are you doing that as root? Read the 3rd line of the very first post.

Also you could use the cron utility to schedule this update script to run automatically every so often, and the nice utility to make sure it doesn't take up too much CPU power when it runs.

Ahh, the wonders of Linux Smile

midnitte did you chmod your bin so you can excute it (chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin) and make sure your in the directory that its in

Yes, though it ends up just being something like:

directoryblahblahblah: chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin (then I press enter)
directoryblahblahblah:

So I have no clue if it actually did apply or not.

are you running it in root? if so thats your problem.. i followed this word for word and it worked perfectly... you might also want to install that ncompress by yum install ncompress. after i did that it worked fine

Code:
~/srcds$ ./steam -command update -game l4d_full -dir .
3: Checking bootstrapper version ...
4: Getting version 34 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
5: Connection Reset

tried 30 times, because i read somewhere its due to busy steam servers, but i suspect somethings wrong.

followed your every words an up to that step it worked flawlessly.
hope someone can help me,

thank you in advance!

Hi, does it matter what directory it is installed in (ie i have installed mine in my 'home' area) - i am using ubunto and it is my first experience with linux... it installed fine first time although the cstrike, and bin and hl2 folders are locked so i cannot put a server config file in there!
many thanks

sounds you not in the correct folder

try (pardon this as i am new too)

check which folder you have put hldsupdatetool.bin in via the gui > open terminal (anything in brackets don't type in)

right here goes...

yourhome$:~dir (shows folder level)
Home Documents blah blah scrds_l
yourhome$:~/ cd scrds_l (amke sure it is exactly as it says in the dir)
yourhome$:~dir/srcds/ dir
hldsupdatetool.bin Mygamefolder
yourhome$:~ ./srcds/ sudo hldsupdatetool.bin
password for yourhome:~/

then do

yourhome$:~ ./srcds/ sudo ./steam
password for yourhome:~/


it is case sensitive when changing folders etc...


hope that helps!

run it inside a screen session (run "man screen" for details)

screen -AmdS <alias> <command to run>

<alias> is an arbitrary name for the screen session. Not neccesary, but helpful if you are running more than one server. If you don't use it, leave off the 'S' option.

i.e.
screen -AmdS tf2server_1 ./srcds_run +map cp_dustbowl +ip 1.1.1.1 +port 27015 -autoupdate +max_players 24 -pidfile /var/run/srcds/tf2server-game.pid"
