/etc/systemd/system/tf2server.service

[Unit] Description=Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server [Service] Type=simple User=tf2server ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /home/tf2server/tf2.sh Sockets=tf2server.socket StandardInput=socket StandardOutput=journal+console StandardError=journal+console [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

/etc/systemd/system/tf2server.socket

[Unit] PartOf=tf2server.service [Socket] ListenFIFO=%t/tf2server.stdin

I ask for help

I found the socket solution on bash stackexchange for a Minecraft ds that uses a socket to echo/cat commands to the process:

echo "say test" > /run/tf2server.stdin

but that doesn't do anything when I follow journalctl with command:

sudo journalctl -u tf2server -f

What could I possibly do to control the server?
