This is fixed, and uploaded. Thanks!

I'm going to change a few things though, so this isn't final, just a fix. As of now it's v2.0 RC1.

Ok everything is fixed and it's now v2.1 .

EDIT:

Yes this is true. It's better to do a shutdown, but in general the only times you need it is when you're loading something that metamod will not load on map change.

that's actually rather odd because I had my admin do a amx_restart command in game while I was using Terminal Services to view my server's Task Manager and saw my HLDS program drop from the list at the end of the restart countdown (cpu usage 4% , Ram 65 mb) and then appear a few seconds later again at 0% cpu and 62 mb ram usage.
So it appears that the restart command actually does restart the HLDS program on my HLDS running as a service.

Either way, it's fixed now.

Or for clearing RAM on windows box that has multipleservers ;) (reduce lag)

Well go to your logs remember the time look into it and you'll be amazed that your friend used "quit" or "exit"
the server_cmd restart or reload are just reloading the map

Try "stats" on ur server and he tells you the uptime if it is not near 0 your server did not restart

Very Nice Upgrade

[Fyre]

log_amx("Cmd: ^"%s<%i><%s>^" initiate %s",szName,id,szAuthid,g_iMode ? "restart" : "shutdown")
	
	switch(get_cvar_num("amx_show_activity"))
	{
		case 1 : client_print(0,print_chat,"ADMIN: %s server in %i seconds",g_iMode ? "Restart" : "Shutdown",iTime)
		case 2 : client_print(0,print_chat,"ADMIN %s: %s server in %i seconds",szName,g_iMode ? "Restart" : "Shutdown",iTime)
	}

Not in the amx logs ... (and it still just did a "restart/reload") look
in hl logs in cstrike/logs/L020201.txt similiar to this

[Hawk552]

Yes, but read the command. It's just "restart".

If you want a true restart, you have to use shutdown. If you want I can implement an option to have the restart make people reconnect.

EDIT: This one DOES work for sure. I thoroughly tested it.

[Xanimos]

I've found that server command "reload" essentially restarts the server with users reconnecting. The default map is reloaded as if server just started. I havnt tested with changing lets say metamod turning on and off because that is set on server start. But still use that instead of "restart" as that just restarts map not server.
