    How to use Admin Command

    You can access the command line by pressing the chat key ( default: / ) .

    In the chat input window you can type any of the following commands in and confirm them with the enter key.

    You have to add the # character before the command .

    The commands can be used in SQF scripts by using serverCommand.

    Troubleshooting : All commands are confirmed via a message in the console. If you enter a command that is properly formatted and you see no confirmation of the command then an error has occurred. Check your server log for more information (e.g. one or more of your mission files is corrupt or has an error which prevents the Missions Lobby from loading, or may prevent other commands like #restart or #reassign from executing).

    Commands

    The following commands are available to you once you have connected to a server:

    The available commands are:

    checkFile
    userSent
    userInfo
    userQueue
    totalSent
    JIPQueue

    Each command can be disabled by the use of the off parameter e.g. #debug userSent off

    Each command differs a bit; some output to screen, some to log file etc.

    You need some debugger capable of catching OutputDebugString running on the client machine

    (one very small and easy to use is available at SysInternals website).

    You launch this debugger, then launch ARMA client, connect to the server, and issue any of the commands .

    #debug (command) #debug von

    #debug console

    The available commands are:

    console

    Send to submitter what’s on server console. Works as DebugAnswer for all writes into the console.

    von

    Outputs into logFile defined in server.cfg as e.g. logFile = "server_console.log";

    Each of those commands should show a confirmation in the chat channels.
