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 This summary quickly goes out of date - the best place to find commands is by typing "help" on the region console.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 [<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). In current development code (for OpenSimulator 0.7.5) this is debug http in|out|all [<level>] 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 <level> - Turn on/off logging of activity in the main threadpool. For more information, see General-Purpose Threadpool.
Simulator Commands
General
- change region <region name> - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region. If region name is "root" then all regions are selected
- debug packet <level> - 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 [<command>] - 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 <name> - Load a module
- modules unload <name> - Unload a module
- monitor report - Returns a variety of statistics about the current region and/or simulator
- 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)
- 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 pqueues [full] - show priority queue data for each client. Without the 'full' option, only root agents are shown. With the 'full' option child agents are also shown.
- 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 <local name> - unlink a hypergrid region
Appearance Commands
- appearance find <uuid-or-start-of-uuid> - Find out which avatar uses the given asset as a baked texture, if any.

- delete object creator <UUID> - Delete a scene object by creator
- delete object name [--regex] <name> - Delete a scene object by name.
- delete object outside - Delete all scene objects outside region boundaries. This is currently if z < 0 or 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 name [--regex] <name> - Show details of scene object parts with the given name.
- 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
- reload estate - reload estate data
- estate link region <estate ID> <region ID> - Attaches the specified region to the specified estate.
- estate show - This command will show the estate name, ID, and owner for regions currently running in the simulator. This list does not necessarily include all estates that are present in the database.
Sample usage:
estate show<enter> Estate information for region TestRegion Estate Name ID Owner My Estate 103 Test User
- estate set name <estate ID> <new name> - 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> <estate name> - Must be a user UUID which you can get from 'show names'

- 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.
- 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
- restart - Restarts all sims in this instance
- restart region <regionname> - Restarts just one sim in an instance. Set the console to the region name first, with 'change region <regionname>', or all regions will restart.
- set region flags <Region name> <flags> - Set database flags for region
- Flags can be one of the following:
- DefaultRegion Used for new Rez. Random if multiple defined
- FallbackRegion Regions we redirect to when the destination is down
- RegionOnline Set when a region comes online, unset when it unregisters and DeleteOnUnregister is false

- rotate scene <degrees> - Rotates scene around 128,128 axis by x degrees where x=0-360.
- scale scene <factor> - Scales all scene objects by a factor where original size =1.0.
- translate scene <x,y,z> - Translate (move) the entire scene to a new coordinate. Useful for moving a scene to a different location on either a Mega or Variable region.
(please back up your region before using any of these commands and be aware of possible floating point errors the more they are used.)

Grid Service
- set region flags <Region name> <flags> - Set database flags for region
- show region <Region name> - Show the details of a given region. This command is renamed to "show region name" in development versions of OpenSimulator.
The following commands currently only exist in development versions of OpenSimulator (post 0.7.3.1). These are currently found in the "Regions" help section.

User Service
- create user [first] [last] [passw] [Email] [Primary UUID] [Model} - creates a new user
- or just: create user - and server prompts for all data
- If UUID is nul or whitespace a UUID will be generated for you.

The value to multiply the heightmap by.
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
- Enabled? (Boolean)
true / false - Enable new brushes
terrain stats
Shows some information about the regions heightmap for debugging purposes.
terrain effect
Runs a specified plugin effect
Parameters
- name (String)
The plugin effect you wish to run, or 'list' to see all plugins
terrain modify
Allows area-of-effect and tapering with standard heightmap manipulations.
General command usage:
- terrain modify <operation> value [<mask>] [-taper=<value2>]
- 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
