Hoi,

So I didn't find an auto updater for csgo servers especially for linux, the steam auto update script function wasn't working for me and I created something of my own.

It's some shellscripts and ruby for glue logic.

You might want to adjust some paths, those files should be in the same location as srcds_run.

It basically opens a screen for the server, uses the log function of screen to get a proper log file ( cs go servers won't flush regularly ),
screen is being identified by it's id so no problems with similar names.

I use environment files to run ruby inside a script, you might want to adjust them if you don't name the gem collection csgo.
The files to be adjusted would be cronUpdate.sh and updateMaps.sh

By default it will also create umc mapcycles and a maplist, if you don't want that just comment out this line in runServer.rb 47: updateMaps()

make sure to update updateCSGO.sh to match your steamcmd.sh path

Install instructions are in the readme. Works fine for me so far.

Ive taken a brief look at the code and it looks safe.

I mean there are probably a ton of unsafe things on the internet.. not the least of which is that these forums themselves don't have a same origin policy.
Currently it *could* allow a malicious user to do unspeakable things through the use of their signature.
I have seen many dangerous signatures like Asherkins scary monster.

Or maybe something like this
An experienced hacker could find your IP with very little effort.

thanks for the encouragement, it seems like you took consideration in the fact it is pure source and not pre-compilled. thanks to your advice I am content to just delete the post and never return again.
