RCON (Remote Console) is a network protocol that allows you to control game servers remotely. It provides access to the server console without needing to interact directly with the server environment. This way, you can execute administrative commands, adjust configuration parameters, or retrieve server status information.
In Arma Reforger, RCON is used to execute server-side commands such as managing players, changing gameplay settings, or retrieving diagnostic outputs. The connection is password-protected and runs through a designated port accessible via compatible RCON clients.
A major advantage of RCON is that you manage the server without needing to be connected as a player in the game. Server admins can conveniently monitor and control Arma Reforger through external tools, command lines, or web dashboards – offering great flexibility and convenience for remote operation.
Once connected via RCON, you can execute various administrative and diagnostic commands on the Arma Reforger server. Available commands depend on the engine but typically include actions for player management, status queries, and server control.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
#login <password> | Log in as server admin |
#logout | End admin status |
#mission <missionName> | Start a new mission on the server |
#missions | List available missions to choose from |
#restart | Restart the current mission |
#reassign | Return all players to role assignment |
#kick <playerID> | Kick a player |
#exec ban <playerID> | Ban a player |
#exec unban <playerID> | Unban a player |
#shutdown | Shut down the server |
