Hi.
I want to create a server for the HL2-mod Gutter Runners ( http://gr.hl2files.com) and I am useing Ubuntu Edgy. There is no help on their website.
I have come this far:
./steam -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir .
Obviously I want to change hl2dm to gr but how?
Help will be appreciated.

Yes, and the mod team has asked me to try to set up a dedicated linux server to see if it works. Do I need to create this server myself or can I just make srcds load some files from the client?

You need the server files from the mod makers, you extract that into the main srcds folder where the cstrike/hl2mp/hl2 folders are located. Then you can run the server by changing setting -game <modfoldernamehere> as a startup param.

The mod team or the Project Team Lead should know this answer, but what Drocona said should work. If there is any error which could happen because of Beta testing. You will need to talk with your Team about this, and go over what is going on. They should have a Forum or a Wiki for Beta Testers to talk about Errors, How to Setup and how to fix these Errors. You get the idea....

Yes I understand and I appreciate all of your help. But you see that even though I am not on the mod team I have been asked by the team if I can try to create a dedicated server for linux.
I might be able to create a dedicated server with the SDK but I am not sure how, so I am asking here.

The Source SDK (Source Software Development Kit) is just a collection of tools compiled by Valve Software that is used to create levels or make mods. That is on a Windows Box on Steam under Tools, but if you want to setup a Source Dedicated Server that is not what you need.
You can pick Windows or Linux to setup a Server, from the looks you already have Ubuntu also have SRCDS installed. You just have to extract the server files (Which your Team Lead gives you) "into the main srcds folder where the cstrike/hl2mp/hl2 folders are located. Then you can run the server by changing setting -game <modfoldernamehere> as a startup param." -Drocona
The Big Question is, are you new to Linux? If so try using Windows first and see if that works, then try Linux.

Hmm, I am more used to windows... guess I can try it in windows first. Also will check with team leader if he now what the server files are.
Edit: He had no idea, what are "the server files"?

In order to host a mod you need files for the server to use. These things are materials, dll's, models, sounds everything.

Ah, okey I understand. So: (gr is folder name)
./steam -command update -game "gr" -dir .
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 18 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
And then after a minute or so back to terminal and nothing has happend. Next step would be: (gr_narrow is a gr map)
./srcds_run -console -game gr +map gr_narrow -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
But it says that the file or catalog can't be found, and that is not strange since I do not have srcd, only steam in the folder... what is wrong?

as I said before, you cannot update a mod, you have to install it manually with the files provided by the mod makers. It's not a steam mod, it's a third party mod which is in no way supported by steam.
You have to get the mod files from the mod makers, then extract the folder "gr" which you got into the main folder of the srcds. then run the commandline you mentioned above and it should work.

Okey, then I understand. I have the gr folder and now I only need "srcds_run". Guess I have to solve the problem "Cannot open output file 'LinuxHldsUpdateTool_18.pkg'" to get it...

oh sorry my mistake, remove the -autoupdate command since you can't update a mod via steam, it should be all set then.

Thanks for all your help. The program works and now I only need to create the makefile for the linuxserver.
