Technical Reference -> Terms -> Server Commands

What are server commands?

You can type server commands on the region server or ROBUST service console to do various things.

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 This summary quickly goes out of date - the best place to find commands is by typing "help" on the region console.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 OpenSim 0.7.1.

Commands

Region Console Commands

General

• alert <message> - send an in-world alert to everyone
• alert-user <first> <last> <message> - send an an in-world alert to a specific user
• backup - trigger a simulator backup (Persist objects to the database now). The simulator does this automatically at regular intervals and on shutdown.
• bypass permissions <true / false> - Bypass in-world permission checks
• change region <region name> - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region. If region name is "root" then all regions are selected
• clear-assets - forcibly clears asset cache, probably leaving sim unstable. Use with caution.
• command-script [name of scriptfile] - Runs a command script containing server commands
• config get [<section>] [<key>] - Get the current configuration, either for a particular key, a particular section or the whole config.
• config save <path> - Save the current configuration to a file.
• config set <section> <key> - Set a particular configuration value. On the whole, this is useless since neither OpenSim nor modules dynamically reload config values.
• config show [<section>] [<key>] - Synonym for 'config get'
• create region [name] [filename] - Create a new region
• debug packet <level> - Turn on packet debugging, where OpenSim prints out summaries of incoming and outgoing packets for viewers, depending on the level set
• debug permissions - Turn on permissions debugging
• debug scene - Turn on scene debugging
• delete-region <name> - Delete a region from disk
• edit scale [primitivename] [xvalue] [yvalue] [zvalue] - changes size of the named prim
• emergency-monitoring - turn emergency debugging monitoring mode on or off.
• export-map [<path>] - Save an image of the world map (default name is exportmap.jpg)
• force permissions - Force permissions on or off.
• force update - triggers a resend of all prims in a region
• help [<command>] - Get general command list or more detailed help on a specific command or set of commands
• kick user <first> <last> [message]: - Kick a user off the simulator
• kill uuid <UUID> - Kill an object by UUID (helpful with red lines in the console)
• 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
• load iar <first> <last> <inventory path> <password> [<archive path>] - 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 for more details.
• load xml [-newIDs [<x> <y> <z>]] - 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
• modules list - List modules
• modules load <name> - Load a module
• modules unload <name> - Unload a module
• monitor report - Returns a variety of statistics about the current region and/or simulator
• quit - equivalent to shutdown.
• region restart abort [<message>] - Abort a scheduled region restart, with an optional message
• region restart bluebox <message> <delta seconds>+ - Schedule a region restart. If one delta is given then the region is restarted in delta seconds time. A time to restart is sent to users in the region as a dismissable bluebox notice. If multiple deltas are given then a notice is sent when we reach each delta.
• region restart notice <message> <delta seconds>+ - Schedule a region restart. Same as above except showing a transient notice instead of a dismissable bluebox.
• reload estate - reload estate data
• remove-region - remove a region from the simulator
• restart - Restarts all sims in this instance
• save iar <first> <last> <inventory path> <password> [<archive path>] - 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 for more details.
• save prims xml2 [<prim name> <file name>] - Save named prim to XML2
• save xml [filename] - save prims to XML
• save xml2 [filename] - save prims to XML (Format 2 - rearrangement of some nodes, to make loading/saving easier)
• set log level [level] - change the console logging level only. For example, off or debug. See Logging for more information.
• set region flags <Region name> <flags> - Set database flags for region
• set terrain heights <corner> <min> <max> [<x>] [<y>] - Sets the terrain texture heights on corner #<corner> to <min>/<max>, if <x> or <y> are specified, it will only set it on regions with a matching coordinate. Specify -1 in <x> or <y> to wildcard that coordinate. Corner # SW = 0, NW = 1, SE = 2, NE = 3.
• set terrain texture <number> <uuid> [<x>] [<y>] - Sets the terrain <number> to <uuid>, if <x> or <y> are specified, it will only set it on regions with a matching coordinate. Specify -1 in <x> or <y> to wildcard that coordinate.

terrain stats

Shows some information about the regions heightmap for debugging purposes.

Details of Hypergrid Commands

link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> <host> <port> <location-name>

• Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent.
• replace osl2.nac.uci.edu and 9006 with the domain name / ip address and the port of the region you want to link to

E.g. link-region 8998 8998 osl2.nac.uci.edu 9006 OSGrid Gateway

Important Note

Due to a viewer bug, you can only TP between regions that are no more than 4096 cells apart in any dimension. What this means in practice is that if you want to link to OSGrid, you must have your own regions reachable from the (10,000; 10,000) point on the map, which is where OSGrid is centered. Place your regions somewhere in the 8,000s or the 12,000s.
