Building Server Plugins

[EK.IceFlake]

If auto record is not available then I want to script a plugin when sent a command to it, it closes an application running in the server's background(not client).

You don't really need a plugin for it, just use the system() function.

Can you give me a little for info?

Code Select Expand

function pkill(pattern, signal="SIGTERM") {
    system("pkill --signal " + signal + " " + pattern);
}
on Linux.

Usage:

Code Select Expand

pkill("firefox"); //gracefully close firefox
pkill("chromium", "SIGKILL"); //force close chromium

Can I get the syntax of it?
Using the function, does it kill process or what?

And yes, you can use system() to freeze a server, delete files, close processes, close the server, and many other evil things :

Code Select Expand

/exec system("exit");
^^ That one closes the server.

int system (const char* command);

Execute system command
Invokes the command processor to execute a command.

That's all you gotta know.

In windows, the system command does everything that the command line (cmd.exe) does.
The same goes to Linux.

I need to close a bat file using the command. The process bat file use is cmd.exe and I was unable to close it.
