All Seeing Eye (ASE), an excellent server browser, has an option to launch CD whenever you connect to a server that requires it and close it whenever you quit the game.

me=nub how would i go about doing that?

To enable this option in ASE:

View > Options (F2)
Click the "Games" tab, select Half-Life under "Installed games" on the left.
Click the button "Anti-cheat programs".

Select either "when connecting to Cheating-Death monitored servers" or "always when launching Half-Life"
Click "Find" to automatically find the Cheating-Death exe.
Decide if you want to close CD after finishing playing or not.

There you have it, CD automatically launches when you play.

Ok then. If you don't want to use ASE:

To use the batch file method, you need to open notepad (or some other text editor) and type:

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
"<location of HL executable>" <command line parameter>
"<location of CD executable>"
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

So for example, if your have installed Half-Life to, <b>"C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\"</b> and Cheating-Death to, <b>"C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cd\"</b>, you would type:

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
"C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe" -console -game ns
"C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cd\cdeath.exe"
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

This file needs to be saved with a .BAT extension. Running the batch file will then execute HL and CD. Only problem with this is that it opens up the ugly command shell and I don't know a (if there is one) command to close it. Anyone?

Cheating-Death has this built-in.
The C-D shorcut should look something like this:
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->"C:\Program Files\Cheating-Death\cdeath.exe" D:\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game ns<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

It closes itself when you terminate the program you opened. I believe there is a command, but I am not aware what it is.

Exit is the code to stop program flow, and will also close the CLI window depending on how you have configured the PIF file (And PIF is an MSDOS shortcut thats properties can be edited to allow closing of the command line on encountering an exit command)
