Anyone know if there is a command I can add to my update that blocks the download of all the stock maps ect.?

For my server's since some of them (Like MGE) only use the one map it is an unnecessary download to get the 3+GB maps (I know it won't re download them if I keep them, but to save space I can delete the other maps) so I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to do this. Thanks.

Pretty sure there's not an ingame command, but if it's a linux machine just set the maps folder as read only for the user:group you're running the server as. That will keep it from changing the contents at all, but it might cause steam to hang when it tries to update.
