This article describes working with the main console commands for managing a server based on eAthena, rAthena, Hercules emulators.
For full control of the emulator, 3 basic commands ea, backup, restore are enough.
With their help, you can start, stop or restart the server. View the current status of each of the servers login, char, map. Compile or recommend current changes in the source code. Install either a fresh or any other version of the emulator from the svn repository, update the current emulator to the desired revision or the latest one.
Let's look at the most commonly used commands:
ea start all - this command will start all 3 login, char, map servers at once.
They can also be launched individually with the command: ea start login, ea start char, ea start map
To reboot, use the ea restart all command, restart the emulator, but it is also possible to reboot a single login, char or map server similarly to the start command.
To stop the entire emulator or a single server, use the ea stop all or ea stop login, ea stop char, ea stop map command.
To view the active status of one of the servers, use the commands ea attach login, ea attach char, ea attach map. These commands will output to the console an active status screen of the specified server. To minimize the screen without stopping the server, press the key combination Ctrl-A + D.
Compilation and recompilation of source code into executable files is performed by the ea make and ea remake commands.
To compile the sql version of the server for the first time, use the ea make sql command if you need the txt version: ea make txt.
When making changes to the source code, to apply them on the server, you will need to recompile with the ea remake sql or ea remake txt command, depending on the version of the emulator you have chosen.
