hlmaster(1) User Manual hlmaster(1) NAME hlmaster - A Half-Life master server daemon (made in switzerland) SYNOPSIS hlmaster [ options ] DESCRIPTION hlmaster is a standalone, automatic master server for Half-Life. It accepts heartbeats from gameservers and keeps an actual list of gameservers. To get a gameserver listet by hlmaster, you'll have to configure it accord- ingly. See hlmaster.gameserver(1) for more information. Additionally, you might want to load a list of servers from a file. This is not the normal operation for a real master-server, but it's a nice fea- ture for your own little master. See hlmaster.list(1) for more information. OPTIONS -V, --version Display version of hlmaster and exit. -h, --help Print a help screen. -n number, --log-level=number Set log level of the info-log as numeric value. (0=none, 1=critical, 2=error, 3=warning, 4=info, 5=debug). The default level is 4 (info). -d, --no-daemon If activated, hlmaster does not go to background at startup. This is usefull for debugging and is turned off by default. -u user, --user=user Run hlmaster as user. -g group, --group=group Run hlmaster as group. -a address, --ip-address=address Set the network interface address to listen on.
