You can use one srcds installation for as many servers as you want, just copy the cstrike/hl2dm/hl2ctf folders for every server you want to add.

And don't forget to launch each new server on a new port using the "-port xxxxx" switch on the command line.

I've got my startup script using one directory for 2 servers which works fine.

Quote:#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"
sleep 1
screen -A -m -d -S css-server1 ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +ip 1.2.3.4 +map de_dust +maxplayers 18 -autoupdate -port 27015 +servercfgfile servercss1.cfg +sv_logsdir logs1
screen -A -m -d -S css-server2 ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +ip 1.2.3.4 +map de_dust +maxplayers 18 -autoupdate -port 27016 +servercfgfile servercss2.cfg +sv_logsdir logs2

You'll see I have a servercss*.cfg file for both which should be put into your cstrike/cfg directory. Also if your following my script here ensure you have created the logs1 and logs2 directories under the cstrike dir. This will mean one update and save your diskspace for other things.
