A lightweight & feature-rich remote console client inspired by mcrcon by Tiiffi that provides familiar syntax & usage while also including more advanced features for those who want them.
ARRCON can receive large packet sizes without issue, and is also capable of correctly handling multi-packet responses.
- Cross-Platform:
- Windows
- Linux
- macOS
- Works for any game using the Source RCON Protocol.
- Handles large packets without issue.
- Handles multi-packet responses without issue, and has configurable delays in the INI file.

§. - Can be used as a one-off from the commandline, or in an interactive shell.
- Supports piping input from STDIN using shell operators.
For example;echo "help" | ARRCON -S myServerwould send thehelpcommand to themyServerhost.- Commands from STDIN are sent after any commands explicitly specified on the commandline.
- Supports running external "scripts" using the
-f|--fileoption.- Commands are separated by newlines.
- Commands from script files are sent after any commands from STDIN.
- Supports piping input from STDIN using shell operators.

The operation mode is selected based on context, but can be influenced by some options.
There are 2 modes:
- Interactive / Terminal
- Used by default when there are no command arguments.
- Opens an interactive console session. You can send commands and view the responses in real-time.
- Commandline
- Executes a list of commands in order with a configurable delay between sending each packet.
- You can also use the
-f <filepath>or--file <filepath>options to specify a scriptfile, which is executed line-by-line after any commands passed on the commandline. - Supports shell pipeline operators (
|,|&, etc.) - Supports STDIN input redirection. (Input from STDIN is always considered to be a command)
