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 This summary quickly goes out of date - the best place to find commands is by typing "help" on the region console.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 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.
appearance rebake <first-name> <last-name> - Send a request to the user's viewer for it to rebake and reupload its appearance textures.
appearance send [<first-name> <last-name>] - Send appearance data for each avatar in the simulator to other viewers.
appearance show [<first-name> <last-name>] - Show appearance information for avatars.
Only exists in development code at the moment.
Archive Commands
load iar <first> <last> <inventory path> <password> [<archive path>] - Load user inventory archive. See Inventory Archives.
load oar [filename] - load an OpenSimulator archive. This entirely replaces the current region. Default filename is region.oar. See OpenSim Archives.
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

backup - Persist currently unsaved object changes immediately instead of waiting for the normal persistence call. This shouldn't normally be required - the simulator persists region objects automatically at regular intervals and on shutdown.
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).
delete object owner <UUID> - Delete a scene object by owner
delete object id <UUID-or-localID> - Delete a scene object by uuid or localID. Pre 0.7.5, this was "delete object uuid".

show part name [--regex] <name> - Show details of scene object parts with the given name.
show part id <UUID-or-localID> - Show details of a scene object parts with the given UUID or localID. Pre 0.7.5, this was "show part uuid".
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 Commands
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

region get - Post OpenSimulator 0.8.0.*. Show region parameters (Region Name, Region UUID, Location, URI, Owner ID, Flags).
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
NoDirectLogin Region unavailable for direct logins (by name)
Persistent Don't remove on unregister
LockedOut Don't allow registration
NoMove Don't allow moving this region
Reservation This is an inactive reservation
Authenticate Require authentication
Hyperlink Record represents a HG link
DefaultHGRegion Record represents a default region for hypergrid teleports only.

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.
deregister region id <Region UUID> - Deregister a region manually. This can be helpful if a region was not properly removed due to bad simulator shutdown and the simulator has not since been restarted or its region configuration has been changed.
show region at <x-coord> <y-coord> - Show details on a region at the given co-ordinate.
show region name <Region name> - Show details on a region
show regions - Show details on all regions. In standalone mode this version of the command is not currently available - the simulator version of "show regions" is used instead, which shows similar information.
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.
Model is the "first lastname" of another user, that user's outfit will be cloned to the new user.
reset user password[<firstname> [<lastname> [<password>]]] - This command sets a new password for a user and directly updates the database. It does not reset the password to a default or temporary value, as the term might suggest.
show account <firstname> <lastname> - show account details for the given user name (0.7.2-dev)
Login Service

Parameters
value (Double)
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
