SRCDS Linux Startscript

This little shell script makes it easier for you to start a SRCDS under linux. It provides you with a set of parameters to start every kind of a SRCDS.

2. How to use:

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

chmod u + x startscript.sh

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