SteamCMD "install whatever" script

[UltimateByte]

Would be nice to use the LGSM functionalities to allow installing any appid.
It would not be possible to start the server or game, but at least to install the content.

I see at least one big use for it : Allow people to download content from non-multiplayer games for their gmod servers, while still being able to keep it updated with cronjobs.

This isn't very hard to code. I'm willing to do it if nobody else takes the job before i find time to do it.

Recently I completed very similar functionality for our fork.
Feel free ask anything.

@Smile42RU Is your fork public ?
Will you actually share some code this time, or will you say again that you won't share it because you're making money with it ?

I cannot see any reason why you couldnt do this.

@Smile42RU if you want to assist LinuxGSM development then it would be a good idea to make public at least parts of your code. It is good practice to contribute code to projects that you are using if you are enhancing and adding features. That is the whole idea of open source. Your code might have the potential to benefit many people.
