Thank you!

Run it as a service. There are a few third-party programs to do that.

You can always minimize it O.o

yeah, either minimize it, or run it as a service. easiest way to run it as a service is use firedaemon.

it woulld be nice if they included a command line param for this ;0)

i can feel another app coming on lol


.... if you want to call it from a .bat file and close the .bat you called ds from

do this use start instead of just calling the exe:

start srcds.exe -etcetc

rather than just

srcds.exe -etcetc


you can add a service in dos by typing

sc create srcds.exe -etcetc

and remove it with

sc delete srcds.exe -blahblah

or delete / add the reg keys in regedit

Thank you!!!

But I have created one service named SRCDS with the tools of windows resource kits.

I go to Control Panel and look the services and the service SRCDS is loaded OK.
If I look the processes loaded there is one process named srcds.exe.

All is OK!!!!!

But if I test my server with HLSW it isn't seen and nobody can connect my server.
If I execute the srcds.bat without service my friends can connect my server.

Where is the problem¿?

Thanks!
