HowTo
You can access the command line by pressing the chat key (default /).
In the chat input window you can type any of the following commands in and confirm them with the enter key.
You have to add the # character before the command.
The commands can be used in SQF scripts by using serverCommand.
Commands
The following commands are available to you once you have connected to a server:
Admin commands
Server/session administration
Command | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
#login #login password |
#login #login adminPW |
Log in as the admin. Without password only possible if you are listed as an admin[] in Arma 3: Server Config File#Server_Options |
#logout | Admin log out. | |
#mission filename #mission filename difficulty |
#mission myDM.intro #mission myDM.intro Veteran |
Select mission with known name and set the difficulty. Difficulty parameter is optional and if not set, current difficulty is kept. |
#missions | Allows selection of mission on shown list of available missions (all or those inside missionWhiteList[] = {}; within server.cfg). Note: this will trigger `missionEnd` (so if server.cfg is set with e.g. MissionsToServerRestart or MissionsToShutdown threshold, the server may immediately restart/shutdown) | |
#restart | Restart mission. | |
#reassign | Start over and reassign roles. | |
#lock | Locks the server, prevents new clients from joining. | |
#unlock | Unlocks the server, allows new clients to join. | |

#restartserveraftermission | Shuts down and restarts the server after mission ends (since Arma 3 1.72.142200) | |
#init | Reload server config file loaded by -config option. |
Player punishment
New since Armed Assault/Arma 1 #exec server side command. Execute administration scripting command. Only works on dedicated servers.
Command | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
#exec ban name #exec ban ID |
#exec ban nickName #exec ban 47114712 |
Allows you to ban a player. Their ID will be added to the ban.txt file. |
#kick name #kick ID |
#kick nickName #kick 47114712 |
Allows you to kick a player. |
Network/connection quality
Command | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
#maxdesync (amount in %) | #maxdesync 95 | Set the maximum accepted desynchronisation Desync is the value you can also see on the map screen when clicking on a player. Or get from networkInfo by getUserInfo. |
#maxpacketloss (amount in %) | #maxpacketloss 50 | Set the maximum accepted packet loss |
#maxping (time in ms) | #maxping 250 | Set the maximum accepted ping |
#dctimeout (time in sec) | #dctimeout 60 | Set the disconnect timeout |
Monitoring/analysis
Command | Example | Description | ||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
#monitor (interval in sec) | #monitor 1 | Shows performance information of the server. Interval 0 means to stop monitoring.
| ||||||||||||||||||
#monitords (interval in sec) | #monitords 1 | Shows performance information in the dedicated server console. Interval 0 means to stop monitoring. (since Arma 3 v1.64) | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug (interval in sec) | #debug 30 | Default interval is 10 seconds. | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug on (command) | #debug on Console #debug on TotalSent |
The available commands are:
Each command can be disabled by the use of the off parameter e.g. #debug off UserSent | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug off <OPTION> | #debug off TotalSent | Disables the specific debugging <OPTION>. See available options above. | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug off | #debug off | Disables all debugging options. | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug checkFile (PATH\TO\FILE.PBO) | #debug checkFile Expansion\Dta\ui.pbo | Trigger integrity check on filename. | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug von | #debug von | Triggers VoN debug mode. Outputs into logFile defined in server config as e.g. logFile = "server_console.log";. See below for example output. | ||||||||||||||||||
#debug limitOut bitsPerSecond | #debug limitOut 100000 | Change bandwidth limit (in bits per second). Must be larger than 0. You get response message: "Outgoing bandwidth limited to %d B/s (%d bps) per client".

Performance profiling
Command | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
PROF #captureframe | The current frame on the server is captured and written to a log file in the same directory as the .rpt file. See diag_captureFrameToFile for more info. {{Feature|informative| Until 2.20 PROF on client was required to trigger #captureFrame command on server. Starting 2.20 they can mismatch. You can trigger #captureFrame on a PROF server (always required), coming from a PERF client for example. | |
PROF #captureslowframe scope, threshold, frameOffset, numberOfSlowFrames to capture | #captureSlowFrame total 0 0 0 #captureSlowFrame total 0.3 0 1 equals to diag_captureSlowFrame ['total', 0.3] |
Captures the current frame on the server if it exceeds the set threshold in seconds and get written to a log file in the same directory as the .rpt file. See diag_captureSlowFrame for more info. |
DIAG #logEntities | Creates a log file containing the list of all game entities in scene. See logEntities for more info. | |
DIAG #exportJIPqueue | Creates a log file containing an overview on all JIP (network) messages currently in the JIP queue. See exportJIPMessages for more info. | |
#debug jipPerf | #debug jipPerf | Dumps the JIP queue in your client's chat. It might also print to client/server RPT? (TBC). It is the top part of what exportJIPMessages does. |

#beclient players | Displays the list of GUID's of all players on the server. |
#beclient guid | Show your own GUID. |
Arma 3 #exec notes
In Arma 3 #exec kick and #exec ban commands require quotes (string) for Name, UID or Player#. To do this for the UID or Player#, use format command to turn the user ID into a string.
#exec kick "5" #exec ban "imah4x0r" #exec kick "938679499494"
#kick command can still be used either way:
#kick imah4x0r #kick "imah4x0r"
In case of banning, ban.txt file is created in root Arma 3 directory that contains a list of banned UIDs. To unban a user by UID (UID is the only option) or to clear the ban.txt:
#exec unban "98749837498374" #exec clearbans
