Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1115

Ok so i know there a update fuction within the script but its a manually thing right?

Is there something we can make as far as a script to check server verison with https://steamdb.info/app/4020/ or whatever steam uses to know when there an update and then if it does not match the script will do ./gmodserver sp then ./gmodserver u so it updates by itself .

Prob would need to be a cronjob set for this to work.

Or am i just dumb and not seeing this already?

Hi,

It is already the case. If the server is started and an update check is negative, then the server won't be restarted. For that reason, you can cronjob an update check every x time. See scheduled updates https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/Update

For gmod, i personally like to have a force-update at night (5 to 6 in the morning), so that my servers are restarted and checked for updates in the same time.

No problem :p
Take some time to read this wiki, you might find some usages that you wouldn't have even think about !

Yeah just looked at that is awsome!

This does not pertain to LGSM

Do you know the Cron job needed to reboot the whole machine daily? Say 4am.

Reboot the whole machine daily ? Why ?! Why would one reboot a linux machine in the first place ?
I assume you can cronjob a shutdown -r -t 0, but i see no valid reason for that.
