The Half-Life Dedicated Server Update Tool or HLDSUpdateTool was a tool to update GoldSrc and Source dedicated servers. It was deprecated in late 2013 in favor of SteamCMD.
Setting up
- Windows: Just run the installer

- Open a terminal and browse to a suitable folder

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin - Execute
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin - Execute
./hldsupdatetool.bin- If you are running a 64-bit Linux distro, you will probably have to install 32-bit libs. See here how to do this.
