Thanks both of you for responding.

I'm running the stand-alone version of the Steam server (the one that installs to C:\HLServer, not the C:\Program Files\Valve....).

The servers are not restarted at any logon. They are restarted at every logoff.

Thanks, I'll play around with RDC some more, but I have other ways to access the server where the consoles do show up.

Here is what my MeanLoader.ini file looks like (-all the info above):
Quote:
[Settings]
ServiceName = (mEAn) Server Loader
RestartInterval = 30000

[Process_0]
AppName = C:\HLServer\hlds.exe
StartDir =
CommandLine = -game czero -console
StartPause = 15000
StopPause = 5000
Window = show
Paused = No
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = high

[Process_1]
AppName = C:\HLServer\hlds.exe
StartDir =
CommandLine = -game tfc -console
StartPause = 15000
StopPause = 5000
Window = show
Paused = No
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = high
All of the Command Line variables are in the Autoexec.cfg (just FYI, all these work fine)
Quote:
port 27015
noipx
maxplayers 32
localinfo
map de_dust
secure
rcon_password 000
Only difference is that the map is '2fort' and a different port for the TFC server. Also, that's not the real password, so don't get excited visitors.

You're right; switch users does work with Windows XP. However, this server will be residing on Win Server 03. I was using an XP box until I'm able to migrate it over to Server 03. However, you can't switch users using a remote connection util, but 'disconnect' (which still keeps the servers active) does about the same thing. You can't 'disconnect' from Server 03 like you can with XP.
