Before running the script, you must change some vars in the config file /etc/csgo-server-launcher/csgo-server-launcher.conf.

• SCREEN_NAME - The screen name, you can put what you want but it must be unique and must contain only alphanumeric character.

• PORT - The port that your server should listen on.
  
  
• DIR_STEAMCMD - Path to steamcmd.
• STEAM_LOGIN - Your steam account username.
• STEAM_PASSWORD - Your steam account password.
• STEAM_RUNSCRIPT - Name of the script that steamcmd should execute for autoupdate. This file is created on the fly, you don't normally need to change this variable.
  
  
• DIR_ROOT - Root directory for the server.
• DIR_GAME - Path to the game.
• DIR_LOGS - Directory of game's logs.
• DAEMON_GAME - You don't normally need to change this variable.

• UPDATE_RETRY - Number of retries in case of failure of the update.
  
  
• API_AUTHORIZATION_KEY - To download maps from the workshop, your server needs access to the steam web api. Leave empty if the webapi_authkey.txt file exists. Otherwise, to allow this you'll need an authorization key which you can generate : http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
• WORKSHOP_COLLECTION_ID - A collection id from the Maps Workshop. The API_AUTHORIZATION_KEY is required. More info : https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/CSGO_Workshop_For_Server_Operators

If you change the location of the config file, do not forget to change the path in the csgo-server-launcher script file for the CONFIG_FILE var (default /etc/csgo-server-launcher/csgo-server-launcher.conf).

Usage

For the console mod, press CTRL+A then D to stop the screen without stopping the server.

• start - Start the server with the PARAM_START var in a screen.
• stop - Stop the server and close the screen loaded.
• status - Display the status of the server (screen down or up)
• restart - Restart the server (stop && start)
• console - Display the server console where you can enter commands.
• update - Update the server based on the PARAM_UPDATE then save the log file in LOG_DIR and send an e-mail to LOG_EMAIL if the var is filled.
• create - Create a server (script must be configured first).

Example : service csgo-server-launcher start

Automatic update with cron

You can automatically update your game server by calling the script in a crontab. Just add this line in your crontab and change the folder if necessary.

0 4 * * * cd /var/steamcmd/ && ./csgo update >/dev/null 2>&1

This will update your server every day at 4 am.
