    echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------"
    exit 2
}

        srcds_restart
    ;;
    update)
        srcds_update
    ;;
    *)
        usage
esac

exit 0 


in crontab i add:

PHP Code:

*/5 * * * * root renice -10 `cat /home/serveur/serveur1/cstrike/serveur1.pid` >/dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * root renice -10 `cat /home/serveur/serveur4/cstrike/serveur4.pid` >/dev/null 2>&1 


why this server use a lot of cpu

i m trying to set each server to a core with HTOP and "a" option

How many slots have you with 2.8 ghz


thx for answer.

[dualcore1289]

what series is the xeon?

[janpepu]

Intel® Xeon® CPU X3360 2.83GHz

[janne]

cpu usage seems like the expected.
When you say "tickrate down to 60", is it because server fps goes to 60?

If not, perhaps you set the rates to low. Try setting it to a high value like sv_minrate 1048576 and sv_maxrate 1048576 and see what happens.

When having so many players it also requires more bandwidth.
So I'd recommend setting minrate to at least 40000.
rate of 25000 is way to low.

i have try your config and for 22 players 64% cpu usage peak
