You will be able to manage your server sending commands remotely through the RCON just like if you were typing on the server console. This includes any command supported by the game server. After the command is typed you will see the server response, for example if you have typed "status" in a Garry's Mod server you would receive all the information regarding the server status including name, players, etc. The app supports any command supported by the game server. You will also be able to kick, ban and send broadcast messages! *The port parameter refers to the Rcon port chosen using the ?RCONPort=xxxxx? command at the server startup. **Add +rcon.web 0 at server startup or the authentication will not work. Port refers to the rcon.port value (default 28016) which can be set at the server startup, not the server port. The app has been tested on pc game servers, it is not guaranteed that it will also work for console games. For any question don't hesitate to contact the support.
