Server Commands

= What are server commands? =

Server commands are those you can type on the console to make the server do various things.

Commands can be divided up into those that apply to the simulator (simulator commands) and those that apply to grid services (service commands).

On a standalone system, both simulator and service commands will be available on the single standalone system console.

On a grid architecture, the simulator commands will be available on the simulators, whilst the service commands will be available on the ROBUST console.

Disclaimer: some commands may not work as expected, some may not work at all, and there is a chance that you may even lose all your settings/contents. This summary quickly goes out of date - the best place to find commands is by typing "help" on the region console.

Except where noted, this list should be accurate for OpenSimulator 0.7.1 onwards.

= Commands =

General Server Commands
These commands are available in both simulator and robust consoles.

General

 * command-script [scriptfile] - Runs a command script containing console commands.
 * quit - shutdown the server.
 * show info - show server information (version and startup path). Before OpenSimulator 0.7.5 this is only available on the simulator console.
 * show uptime - show server startup time and uptime. Before OpenSimulator 0.7.5 this is only available on the simulator console.
 * show version - show server version. Before OpenSimulator 0.7.5 this is only available on the simulator console.
 * shutdown - synonym for quit
 * get log level - In OpenSimulator 0.7.5 and later, print the current console logging level. In OpenSimulator 0.7.4 and earlier please use the "set log level" command instead without a level parameter.
 * set log level [level] - change the console logging level only. For example, off or debug. See Logging for more information. In OpenSimulator 0.7.4 and earlier, if called without the level argument prints the current level.  In OpenSimulator 0.7.5 and later please use the "get log level" command instead.  Only available on ROBUST console from OpenSimulator 0.7.5.

Debug

 * debug http [ ] - Turn on/off extra logging for HTTP request debugging. Only available on robust console from commit 94517c8 (dev code post 0.7.3.1).  In current development code (for OpenSimulator 0.7.5) this is debug http in|out|all [ ] since outbound HTTP messages can also now be logged (this was only possible for inbound before). For more information on this command, see Debugging.


 * debug threadpool level - Turn on/off logging of activity in the main threadpool. For more information, see General-Purpose Threadpool.

General

 * change region - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region. If region name is "root" then all regions are selected
 * debug packet - Turn on packet debugging, where OpenSimulator prints out summaries of incoming and outgoing packets for viewers, depending on the level set
 * emergency-monitoring - turn emergency debugging monitoring mode on or off.
 * help [ ] - Get general command list or more detailed help on a specific command or set of commands
 * link-mapping - Set a local grid co-ordinate to link to a remote hypergrid
 * link-region - Link a HyperGrid region. Not sure how this differs from link-mapping
 * modules list - List modules
 * modules load - Load a module
 * modules unload - Unload a module
 * monitor report - Returns a variety of statistics about the current region and/or simulator
 * set terrain heights  [] [] - Sets the terrain texture heights on corner # to /, if  or  are specified, it will only set it on regions with a matching coordinate. Specify -1 in  or  to wildcard that coordinate. Corner # SW = 0, NW = 1, SE = 2, NE = 3.
 * set terrain texture [] [] - Sets the terrain to, if  or  are specified, it will only set it on regions with a matching coordinate. Specify -1 in  or  to wildcard that coordinate.
 * show caps - show all registered capabilities URLs
 * NOTE: In OpenSimulator 0.7.1, "show capabilities" is shown as a result for help command, but actually only "show caps" will be accepted. (#5467)


 * set water height # - sets the height simulator wide or single region if you use change region.
 * show circuits - Show agent circuit data
 * show connections - show connections data
 * show http-handlers - show all registered http handlers
 * show hyperlinks - list hg regions
 * show modules - show module data
 * show pending-objects - show number of objects in the pending queues of all viewers

 * show queues - Show queue data for agent connections.
 * show threads - shows the persistent threads registered with the system. Does not include threadpool threads.
 * show throttles [full] - Show throttle data for each client connection, and the maximum allowed for each connection by the server. Without the 'full' option, only root agents are shown. With the 'full' option child agents are also shown.
 * unlink-region - unlink a hypergrid region

Appearance Commands

 * appearance show - Show information about avatar appearance. Currently just checks whether the baked texture is "OK" or "corrupt". Still in development. Only exists in development code at the moment.

Archive Commands

 * load iar   [ ] - Load user inventory archive. See Inventory Archives.
 * load oar [filename] - load an OpenSimulator archive. This entirely replaces the current region. Default filename is region.oar. See OpenSim Archives.
 * load xml [-newIDs [  ]] - Load a region's data from XML format (0.7.*: DEPRECATED and may be REMOVED soon. Use "load xml2" instead)
 * those xml are the result of the export save or *export save-all


 * load xml2 [filename] - optional parameters not supported for XML2 format as at 1-Jul-2008
 * save iar   [ ] - Save user inventory archive. See Inventory Archives
 * save oar [filename] - save the current region to an OpenSimulator archive. Default filename is region.oar. See OpenSim Archives.

 * config show [ ] [ ] - Synonym for 'config get'

Land Commands

 * land show - Shows all parcels on the current region.

Map Commands

 * export-map [ ] - Save an image of the world map (default name is exportmap.jpg)
 * generate map - Regenerates and stores map tile. Only in development code post 0.7.6.

Object Commands

 * backup - Persist currently unsaved object changes immediately instead of waiting for the normal persistence call. This shouldn't normally be required - the simulator persists region objects automatically at regular intervals and on shutdown.
 * delete object creator <UUID> - Delete a scene object by creator
 * delete object name [--regex] - Delete a scene object by name.
 * delete object outside - Delete all scene objects outside region boundaries. This is currently if z 10000.  Object outside these bounds have been known to cause issues with OpenSimulator's use of some physics engines (such as the Open Dynamics Engine).

 * show part uuid <UUID> - Show details of a scene object parts with the given UUID. In current dev code (post 0.7.5) this is "show object id" and also allows a local ID.

Estate Commands
Sample usage: estate show Estate information for region TestRegion Estate Name ID Owner My Estate 103 Test User
 * reload estate - reload estate data
 * estate link region <estate ID> <region ID> - Attaches the specified region to the specified estate.

 * estate set name <estate ID> - Rename an estate
 * estate set owner <estate ID> <FirstName> <LastName> - Change the owner of an estate. This command supports two forms; this one uses the owner's name.
 * estate set owner <estate ID> <owner UUID> - Change the owner of an estate. This command supports two forms; this one uses the owner's UUID.
 * estate create <owner UUID> - Must be a user UUID,m which you can get from 'show names'

Region Commands

 * change region - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region. If region name is "root" then all regions are selected

 * region restart notice + - Schedule a region restart. Same as above except showing a transient notice instead of a dismissable bluebox.
 * region set - Post OpenSimulator 0.8.0.*. Set certain region parameters.  Currently, can set
 * agent-limit - The current avatar limit for the region. More usually this is set via the region/estate dialog in a typical viewer.  This persists over simulator restarts.
 * max-agent-limit - The maximum value that agent-limit can have. Unfortunately, setting it here does not currently persist over server restarts.  For that to happen it must be separately set as the MaxAgents parameter in the region config file.
 * remove-region - remove a region from the simulator

Multiplies the heightmap by the value specified.

Parameters The value to multiply the heightmap by.
 * value (Double)

terrain bake
Saves the current terrain into the regions revert map.

terrain revert
Loads the revert map terrain into the regions heightmap.

terrain newbrushes
Enables experimental brushes which replace the standard terrain brushes. WARNING: This is a debug setting and may be removed at any time.

Parameters true / false - Enable new brushes
 * Enabled? (Boolean)

terrain stats
Shows some information about the regions heightmap for debugging purposes.

terrain effect
Runs a specified plugin effect

Parameters The plugin effect you wish to run, or 'list' to see all plugins
 * name (String)

terrain modify
Allows area-of-effect and tapering with standard heightmap manipulations.

General command usage:
 * terrain modify value [ ] [-taper= ]


 * Parameters
 * value: base value to use in applying operation
 * mask:
 * -rec=x1,y1,dx[,dy] creates a rectangular mask based at x1,y1
 * -ell=x0,y0,rx[,ry] creates an elliptical mask centred at x0,y0
 * taper:
 * rectangular masks taper as pyramids
 * elliptical masks taper as cones

Terrain Manipulation (fill, min, max)
 * value represents target height (at centre of range)
 * value2 represents target height (at edges of range)

Terrain Movement (raise, lower, noise)
 * value represents a delta amount (at centre of range)
 * value2 represents a delta amount (at edges of range)

Terrain Smoothing (smooth)
 * The smoothing operation is somewhat different than the others, as it does not deal with elevation values, but rather with strength values (in the range of 0.01 to 0.99). The algorithm is simplistic in averaging the values around a point, and is implemented as follows:


 * The "strength" parameter specifies how much of the result is from the original value ("strength" * map[x,y]).
 * The "taper" parameter specifies how much of the remainder is from the first ring surrounding the point (1.0 - "strength") * "taper". There are 8 elements in the first ring.
 * The remaining contribution is made from the second ring surrounding the point. There are 16 elements in the second ring.
 * e.g.
 * terrain modify smooth 0.5 -taper=0.6
 * the original element will contribute 0.5 * map[x0,y0]
 * each element 1m from the point will contribute ((1-0.5)*0.6)/8 * map[x1,y1]
 * each element 2m from the point will contribute ((1-0.5)*0.4)/16 * map[x2,y2]

Notes:
 * The "taper" value may need to be exaggerated due to the integer math used in maps.
 * e.g. To create a 512x512 var island:
 * terrain modify min 30 -ell=256,256,240 -taper=-29
