Hi All,

FYI, I noticed that the autoupdate feature of SRCDS didnt seem to be working, so I have written a script to take down all of our servers, one at a time, update them and restart them. It takes about 30secs per server and the scheduled downtime will be around 6am every morning.

Any questions/issues let me know.

Sample output of script:
