is that possible to run rcon command directly from linux server where i run steamcmd?

runsrcds · **Author**

i have installed steamcmd on Ubuntu server and i start cs:go server with the command as shown:

Code:

./srcds_run -game csgo -net_port_try 1 +sv_setsteamaccount 111 -authkey 000 -usercon +host_workshop_map 999

every time i want to check the status of my server. I will have to launch CS:GO from steam on my PC.
Open up console and type "rcon_address 3.222.222.222" with "rcon_password my_password" finally i can execute
"rcon status"

Can i just run "status" or other commands like "addip" directly from Ubuntu server without launching CS:GO from my PC?

Cheers

on ubuntu:

apt-get install screen

start your srcds instance in screen with:

screen -AmdS csgoserver ./srcds_run -game csgo -net_port_try 1 +sv_setsteamaccount 111 -authkey 000 -usercon +host_workshop_map 999

than your can type in putty:

screen -r csgoserver

to hide/detach the screen window use ctrl + A + D

or use a start.sh script:

#!/bin/bash
# stop server
screen -r csgoserver -X quit
echo
## start the server
cd /home/gameserver/csgoserver
screen -AmdS csgoserver ./srcds_run -game csgo -net_port_try 1 +sv_setsteamaccount 111 -authkey 000 -usercon +host_workshop_map 999

Thank you for taking time to wrote this

. Apologize if i didn't word it more clearly. I have no problem with the the part where you suggest using screen, I am using tmux as an alternative. What i want is to run command like "rcon status" directly on my Ubuntu server without launching CS:GO from my pc and use the CS:GO developer console to execute "rcon status".

?

thats what i wrote, on terminal in ubuntu you can see your server console without launching csgo at your pc? dunno how it works with tmux... just use screen.

Yes, if you execute the command directly from the local game server console you don't need to add remote console at the begining.

i feel like something is missing on my end. Is this the method you use to install steamcmd on your linux server or you are using LinuxGSM?

from official guide:

Code:

 sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
 sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
 sudo apt update
 sudo apt install lib32gcc1 steamcmd

runsrcds

when i execute

Code:

./srcds_run -game csgo -net_port_try 1 +sv_setsteamaccount 111 -authkey 000 -usercon +host_workshop_map 999

this is all i see from my end, just some logging on the terminal. When i type "status" there is no respond.
