1 Instance for 1 Install / multiple servers / servicename clash
I would like your opinion because I feel I'm losing more time with LGSM compared to the traditional method. In addition, I find that a lot of essential information is missing in the wiki.

I use multiple servers for several games. Since each server is UNIQUE, I did not want "csgoserver1, csgoserver2 ... csgoserver15" but use custom names.
so I went through 1 single install for each server:
example:
/home/servers/games/csgo/dust2/linuxgsm.sh
/home/servers/games/csgo/jail/linuxgsm.sh
/home/servers/games/csgo/zombie/linuxgsm.sh
/home/servers/games/css/dust2/linuxgsm.sh
/home/servers/games/css/jail/linuxgsm.sh
/home/servers/games/css/zombie/linuxgsm.sh
I find myself with a conflict of the "servicename" of which it is not indicated anywhere in the wiki and how to modify it properly.
When I start my CSS servers, they clash and one can not open while another is running. Is there a way to name the servers that can fix it?

I have to admitt the page was full of crap, so sorry about that. Please feedback if you notice any remaining anomaly.

If you read carefully the documentation, you learn that there are two ways to proceed:
- One single installation, multiple scripts with different names and different configurations, but common files, so customization is a bit limited between servers
- One user, one install: easiest, only gotta change ports but uses way more disk space

You are doing a way that doesn't exist:
- Single user, multiple single installs
That doesn't make any sense.

Servicename is taken from your csgoserver script name. If you have one user, with multiple scripts named csgoserver, it obviously won't work.

I have to say some people did poor updates to the "Multiple Game Servers" wiki page, I'll correct it, hopefully you'll get the point if not already.

So if I run 100 servers, I need to make 100 users ? Why not 1 user per game ?
It's more efficient and easier to manage because right now if we want to restart all servers we need to change users everytimes?

I also want to report:
In ./gameserver details, headers appear in dark blue on the black background of the console. It isnt a great idea.
