They get the message that they've been disconnected because the server is being shutdown. This happens on both Windows XP & Server 03.

Is there something I overlooked or some kind of workaround? Thanks.
What kind of server are you running? Is it a steam server, or a non steam server? For example is the server run from user@domain\counter-strike or another folder that is not under any of the steam folders?

Also, what happens when you log back in after the each HL server instance has restarted, then log off again - do the server instances shutdown again?

Least of my problems but wondering if anyone knows a fix:
Even though the "window = show" in the .ini file, the consoles do not show up when logging onto the computer via Remote Desktop Connection.
Unfortunately, a remote login won't show the console by default. There's probably a work around but I don't know of one myself. My guess is that there may be a security setting that will allow the console to appear. You can test it out to see if the console appears when you start the process from the remote session - I think it will.
