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 This summary quickly goes out of date - the best place to find commands is by typing "help" on the region console.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 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.
• shutdown - synonym for quit.

Debug

• debug http [<level>] - Turn on/off extra logging for HTTP request debugging. Only available on robust console from commit 94517c8 (dev code post 0.7.3.1).

Region Console Commands

General

• backup - trigger a simulator backup (Persist objects to the database now). The simulator does this automatically at regular intervals and on shutdown.
• change region <region name> - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region. If region name is "root" then all regions are selected
• create region [name] [filename] - Create a new region
• debug packet <level> - Turn on packet debugging, where OpenSimulator prints out summaries of incoming and outgoing packets for viewers, depending on the level set
• 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 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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.
• 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)

• show version - show server version.
• unlink-region <local name> - 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.

• 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

Script Commands

These currently only exist in git master OpenSimulator development code post the 0.7.2 release.

Details of Hypergrid Commands

For full details and explanations of Hypergrid Commands, see the Linking Regions sections of the Installing and Running Hypergrid page.

show hyperlinks

This command will show a list of all hypergrid linked regions.

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

unlink-region <local region name>

This command will unlink the specified hypergrid linked region - be sure to use the exact local name as reported by the "show hyperlinks" command.

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.
