My instincts tell me to close srcds while updating, but I decided to consult the professionals here first. Thanks!

I don't think it will work without closing the server.
But if you read the love note, it says to shut down before updating.

Please do not PM me for server related help

I updated my server once while it was running, no good, corrupted files after etc. needed to -verify_all to make it work again AFTER I closed it.

Here's my problem:
Steam releases updates in the middle of the day.... sometimes causing players to be unable to connect, one time because of different class tables. I do have sv_pure set the 1, so how can I get around this happening in the future?

Thanks, Remo. I've built an application to manage the updating and have it scheduled every morning at 4 AM. It even alerts the players that the server is shutting down 5 minutes in advance. But updates released mid-day cause me to come home from work and find no one on because the server needs updating.
Steam needs to have some sort of service that will automatically update the server when needed. Even if they don't want to do that, they should have some sort of page with the server version, a simple text document will do, and then I can build an application to check that page and update if the version has changed.
