Q: How can I make the "exit" or "quit" command restart my server?
A: In windows this can be done via a batch script. This can also be done in a similar method in linux.

Below is an example of an auto-restart script.
Just set the vars as needed Smile

Code:

::=========================================================::



:: This will keep the window clean and easy to read
@echo off

::=======================::
::  SET YOUR VARIABLES!  ::
::=======================::

::=======================::
::  Window and Log name  ::
::  Replace "My Server"  ::
::=======================::
set servername="My server"

::=======================::
::   Your start command  ::
::=======================::
set runcmd=C:\hl2server\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -maxplayers 24 +fps_max 200 -port 27015 +map ctf_2fort -tickrate 66

:: Sets the title of the window
title SRCDS Guardian 2.0   %servername%


:: Clears the window incase there is anything there
cls


:: Prints to the window what we are doing
echo SRCDS Guardian 2.0 has been started!
echo.
echo **************************************************************************
echo To close the server, close this windows and type exit in the server window
echo **************************************************************************

>> %servername%_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%) Crash or Close detected!

echo (%date%)(%time%) %servername% is now restarting...
>> %servername%_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%) %servername% is now restarting...

::Server crashed or closed, so we point it to the return point to start the server again
goto restart

# Initialise
init $*

# Run
run

# Quit normally
quit 0

Then i use this to start it:

Code:
screen -dmS dust ./RESTART_srcds_run +game cstrike +maxplayers 12 +ip xx.xxx.xx.x -tickrate 100 +port 27015 +map de_dust2 +fps_max 0

it works great
