In the game

Open chat and type /AdminPassword <your ADMIN_PASSWORD>. Then:

  • /Broadcast Message: message to everyone (no spaces in older versions; use _).
  • /KickPlayer <SteamID or name>, /BanPlayer <SteamID>
  • /TeleportToPlayer <name>, /TeleportToMe <name>
  • /ShowPlayers: list with IDs
  • /Save: save now
  • /Shutdown <seconds> <message>: graceful shutdown with warning
  • /DoExit: immediate shutdown

From the panel console (RCON)

RCON is enabled on our servers (RCON_PORT in Startup). The panel console is wired to it: type Broadcast Restart_in_5_minutes, Save, ShowPlayers, Shutdown 60 Restart without the slash. Handy for schedules: a Send command task Save before a nightly restart keeps everything.

External tools (e.g. PalCon, generic RCON clients) connect to node1.penguhost.com:<RCON port> with the admin password.
