Help with Linux

Post by paperb0y »

First let me say I have a windows server running CS 1.6 and I don't know anything about linux. I'm thinking of switching to Linux Gentoo and I wanted to know how to stop or restart the server once it's up and running.

What I mean is, I know you can start the server with "./hlds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust -autoupdate" but how in the hell do you stop or shutdown the server if needed? I searched on the internet and this forum but I can't find the answer.

Also I wanted to know if it's worth switching from windows 2008 rs to linux to run CS 1.6 servers. Would there be any noticeable difference in performance?

If you're running the server in a "screen" (as we recommend), you would stop it by going into the screen and hitting control-c or typing "quit". Starting it again would require re-running the command.

You would likely see a little performance difference in switching to Linux for CS 1.6 servers.
