Hello,

If I understand correctly, you want to add an update section to your case statement but the location of the 'steam' binary varies per server. If that is the case, you can try something like this:

update)
    steam_cmd=$(find / -name steam 2> /dev/null)
    if [ "$steam_cmd" ]; then
        $steam_cmd -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -verify_all -dir /games/st0n3r/css_dust2/
    else
        echo "Unable to locate the steam binary; cannot update"
        exit 1
    fi
;;

One recommendation... if you have a better idea of the whereabouts the binary, replace the "/" in the find command with something more accurate, perhaps "/games," otherwise the script will search the entire server for that binary and take some time.

Regards,
Tom
