ACPlayer RCon Client Commands Help - ViLayer Hosted

[ShallowTech 196]

Good afternoon, I am looking for some answers to a few questions. I have looked at some other post but none of them seemed to really answer the questions I have. Currently we are renting a ViLayer DayZ SA server. Of course, it appears that there is limited management but I have found a few post with BEC or RCon commands. Thank you in advance if you are able to help.

 

 

My first question is, do the ViLayer DayZ SA servers already have a built in reboot configured?

 

 

I attempted to setup a two hour reboot schedule with warnings but it seems like the server reboots more often and I do not see my BEC warnings. I have opened a support ticket with ViLayer but thought I would ask in case anyone else has run into this.

 

 

Additionally, we are doing our best to keep a clean server, no hacking, no exploits and active admins. There is a userslist command that runs but it only gives me three users and id's... I have notice some post about not asking the community about baning and adminstration but like I said we are trying to run a clean server and we have run into some blatant hacking. My questions are;

 

 

Is there a way to pipe > the userlist to a text file on my local HD?

 

 

Does the ban.txt work and if so what is the syntax if you want to ban a player?

 

 

Additionally, there is a web based RCon client command line on the ACPlayer, can this be used to run commands?

 

 

Thanks again

My BEC message configurations, I think they are correct and I see some of the message display but not the server warnings, unless I am just not catching them.

Okay i found a post searching that answers some of my questions.

Is there a way to execute an RCon command from the ACPlayer that will send a global chat message?

I am not aware of a tool that helps managing the server, If so somebody should put in a link ASAP because i want that also :P, but I think I can safely say there a none for now.

Vilayer had a auto reboot system that reboots every 4 hours starting on 12:00 GMT.

 

I think you already managed how the BEC system works, getting in restart messages etc, be sure to read some stuff about it.

If you have problems with it, TURN OFF your server before applying the settings, and sometimes BEC just doesn't work, don't know why (but this is like 1 or 2 times a day).

 

Picture: Restarting times, my settings: http://puu.sh/9yGFg/df648419bc.png

That's how I configure it for the restarts, more questions, please ask and Good luck :).
