Description:

Executes a server command on the server. In order to be able to execute admin command the user must be logged in as admin. Commands available for non-admin users are: #login, #vote and #userlist. Which command is available can be detected with serverCommandAvailable and whether or not it can be executed with serverCommandExecutable.

NOTE: This command must be executed from UI event handler (ctrlAddEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler), such as onButtonDown or other User_Interface_Event_Handlers.

As of Arma 3 v1.39 serverCommand can be used on dedicated server and headless clients. This requires a password, both set in server.cfg and passed to the command itself.
