For Games:
Counter-Strike:Source, Team Fortress 2, (Day Of Defeat: Source ?)

Rant:

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have already cvars for hibernate mode
sv_hibernate_postgame_delay 5
sv_hibernate_when_empty 1

If you experience server crash, please uninstall this plugin and try again, does crash stop.

micro update.
I forgot to add @ in linux signature.

This plugin sounds like it'd be very useful for L4D2 what with the game's inherent forced Lobby functionality.
Unfortunately as of current it errors on loading the plugin for some reason, thus it's functionality is not inherited.

L4D2
There are hidden cvars. Use sm_cvar

"sv_hibernate_when_empty" = "1"
FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY 
- Puts the server into extremely low CPU usage mode when no clients connected

"sv_hibernate_postgame_delay" = "5"
FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY 
- # of seconds to wait after final client leaves before hibernating.

"sv_hibernate_ms" = "20"
FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY 
- # of milliseconds to sleep per frame while hibernating

It seems this cvar do nothing, at least in L4D2... Tried it in different ways. Or am I doing somthing wrong?

Gamedata signatures added in this file.
- Windows
- Linux


I have quick test Windows versions only, Linux not tested.
- You properly gonna get wierd bugs and glitch when server not hibernate after last player disconnect.
- Both games restart map, when last human player disconnect.
There maybe cvar for bots, to not leave from server and avoid this problem, if I remember right.
- In L4D, gonna glitch player when join server, after last player disconnected and hibernate did not happened.
Toggling player console on/off can help you get out glitch.
- L4D2 works somehow better.

In fact of the matter is that server hibernates after last player has left. Problem is that postgame_delay cvar doesn't delay it. Player has left server, server goes sleep, or return to first map and goes sleep- thats alright. Whatever value i set, there is no delay to hibirnation. I need to change map on empty server, have looked at some plugins, thay are all based on timers, but timers stop while hibirnation, ironic almost evrywhere people complain about "its not work with hibirnation..." and so on. I found this thread and this cvar. Have tried on clean server and no avail.
I either have to do it with sv_hibernate_when_empty 0 and set it by plugin to 1 after it chanfge map, or use your plugin to dealy hibernation (not tested yet)

If only you didn't disable hibernation before starting the timer, which I tried to did in [ANY] Restart Empty Server (or Map). At least, it worked at the moment of writing/updates.
