Actually, it does just read the logs. hlds_ld is an administration tool
for halflife dedicated servers, and that's the cgi interface to it. It
does nothing with the halflife protocol.

However, there's a program called qstat which speaks
tribes/halflife/quake/quake2/quake3/quakeworld/etc protocols and will
output the information you want. I think it would be easier to call that
then parse the results to do what you want with it.

let me know if you need further help,
