Here it is… a well commented and easy for rookies to understand CounterStrike Source Linux Server Startscript. It includes all basic start parameter as well as a good error display system.

How to use:

After you successfully installed a Counterstrike Source Server under Linux with the SRCDS tool you just have to download the startscript at the bottom of this post.
Save the “startscript” into the root directory of your CSS server and change the permission to “u + x” (chmod u+x startscript).

Now open the start script with your preferred editor (vim, joe, mono etc.) and customize the configuration variables to your system.
