I think it could be great to restart the server at the end of the lobby to kick players and change the password.

We've had (fairly popular) suggestions to do the complete opposite before. We've also had suggestions to execute server.cfg when lobbies end but never a suggestion about restarting the server.

Restarting overall is a pretty bad idea... who knows how server providers deal with an rcon quit. If you are booking your server from serveme.tf or ozfortress it could cause some pretty nasty issues and admins looking at you funny for messing with their precious rcon.

 

I'm guessing you want a way to get rid of the riff raff when the lobby finishes? The way I would do this is rcon kickall and change the password. There might be a way to have this implemented into TF2Center, but for now you can put this in your client autoexec.

 

alias cyanerds "rcon_password <your rcon pass here>; rcon kickall; rcon sv_password <your server lock password here>"

 

Just type cyanerds into your console and all the nerds will disappear and won't be able to come back.

I agree with what tereza decided - Some servers don't autorestart and this would present a large problem for those server's owners
