Linux Command line Server install?

[Floyd 10]

Hi.

I was wondering if it is possible to install an Arma2 dedicated server on a linux box ( Fedora for example ) the same way its done for Halflife 2 games, such as Day of Defeat, CounterStrike and Left for Dead?

Surely there must be a way to install teh needed files, rather having to upload 8 gig?

For example, this is how its done via ssh ( I use putty to connect to my remote linux server ).

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
chown cs1:cs1 /home/cs1 -R
./hldsupdatetool.bin
./steam -update "counter-strike source" /home/cs1

This completely downloads ALL the files needed and can be run using the usual start scripts.

Surely there is a way of doing this for Arma 2? Im told that Any steam game that has MP can be installed automatically via commandline ?

Any info would be great.

There may be others but Valve is the only developer I know of that provides such a facility and AFAIK only for games using their Source engine.

Well, tbh, thats what I thought, but I had hoped there would be a little hope... lol

Back to the drawing board I guess.
