How do I restart my server by rcon without killing the screen?

_restart kills the screen
quit kills the screen

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen -A -m -d -S tf03 sh -c "./srcds_run -game tf +map mvm_bigrock +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27017 +maxplayers 32 | grep -v Setting\ sv_visiblemaxplayers\ to\ 6\ for\ MvM"

9 Unknown command "autoupdate"

By the way, I've rented a machine and we use linux. Now that we are the ownor of the machine, it doesn't have a panel like gameservers etc to admins start/stop/update. My admins don't know how to use linux and execute commands, where can I find a way (panels etc) (with webpage or not) so they can manage the server?

Autoupdate is a startup parameter. You need to add it to your startup line (-autoupdate)

Then you need to read up on how autoupdate works.

Edit: Using that thing you guys apparently hate "Google" I found this guide in like 10 seconds

Actually I asked help "how restart my server without killing the screen by rcon". You said things about autoupdate, not me, new learn for me. But I'm still looking a way to do what the title of my thread says.

Anyway thanks ;)

Quit doesn't kill a screen to my knowledge, and if you set up autoupdate like that guide says, "rcon quit" will reboot your server.

Edit: I use debian.

Edit2: Whichever command you use to reboot the server, you'll need to follow that guide for it to work properly with l4d unless it has changed in the past ~9 months or so.
