gswatcher

gswatcher is a free, open-source application for monitoring multiplayer game servers and performing basic remote administration. It allows players to maintain a list of favorite servers and check their availability. The application supports multiple server query protocols for retrieving information from compatible games. A buddy list helps users follow friends who play on monitored servers. Desktop notifications can alert users when a buddy joins a server. Administrators can access a remote console for supported Source Engine servers. Its interface consolidates server monitoring and player presence information in one place. The application is distributed primarily for Linux, with portable Windows builds offering more limited functionality. The project is no longer actively developed.
