basic script help required

jimmorrison · 04-09-2003, 10:38 PM

Hi

I need to write/right a basic script. (like a windows .bat)

i need it to run these commands which I have saved in a file called cs.sh

cd /
cd /halflife
cd /hlds_l
./hlds_run -game cstrike -insecure -nomaster +maxplayers 16 +map cs_assault +sv_lan 1

when I type in sh cs.sh
it will not run.
The output from the console is

cs.sh: cd: /hlds_l: No such file or directory
cs.sh:cd: /hlds_run: No such file or directory

I am positive the dir names are correct

whats wrong?

try this.

#!/bin/sh

/halflife/hlds_l/hlds_run -game cstrike -insecure -nomaster +maxplayers 16 +map cs_assault +sv_lan 1

Just give the full path. Make it executable and off you go.

Good Luck

#!/bin/sh

./hlds_run -game cstrike -insecure -nomaster +maxplayers 16 +map cs_assault +sv_lan 1

then save the file (say /hlds_l/start.sh)

then do a chmod +x /hdls_l/start.sh

then cd into /hlds_l and type this:

./start.sh

NOTE: as cs serverr tutorial suggests - DON'T RUN THE HL SERVER AS USER ROOT!.

looks like the original problem was here. I though someone should clarify it, so you don't make the same mistake.

first of all, you can enter more than one directory, eg.
cd /halflife/hlds_l

But if you decide to do it otherwise:
/ always means root.

so if you go:
cd /hlds_l
it looks for hlds_l under / (while it seems it exists under /halflife/hlds_l)

so either, if you're already in the directory (ie. /halflife_ you can just enter:
cd hlds_l

or, you can use './' which means the directory you are in now, eg.
cd ./hlds_l

you really don't want to run it as root.

Thanks alot for the help guys. I am new to linux so I expected running as root would be easier.

I will set it up as a normal user in the next couplee days.

Thanks again

Doing it this way here will enable you do place the script file whereever you'd like it to be.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/hlds_l ;
screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip 66.235.183.203 +port 27016 +maxplayers 30 +map cs_assault_upc -autoupdate ;

The whole screen thing is so you can close the terminal or whatever. to resume it you do screen -r hlds and to detach the screen ctr-a then d

That is what I use for one of my servers. But if you only run 1 server this link would be great for you. It doesnt work well for me because i run 6 servers.
