Downloaded and extracted a new steamcmd, on my desktop that shares a steam client install - It was running in the background, could this have been the issue?

Logged in anonymously, got this:

john@joran ~/bin/steamcmd > ./steamcmd.sh 
Redirecting stderr to '/home/john/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check

The word is that this is due to logging in anonymously and is benign.

yeah, its just awkward waiting for 900K of warning messages to come over an ssh connection for no reason.

Having 'failed' in a line is usually not a good thing - one might think this is related to other issues one could experience.
Would also improve readability if something that is not of any importance wasn't printed unless debugging or verbosity were enabled.

The same happens on Windows.

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue with the current steamcmd?
