### `admin.py`

[View admin.py source](https://github.com/evennia/evennia/tree/master/evennia/commands/default/admin.py)


#### ban (CmdBan)
```
    ban an account from the server

    Usage:
      ban [<name or ip> [: reason]]

    Without any arguments, shows numbered list of active bans.

    This command bans a user from accessing the game. Supply an optional
    reason to be able to later remember why the ban was put in place.

    It is often preferable to ban an account from the server than to
    delete an account with accounts/delete. If banned by name, that account
    account can no longer be logged into.

    IP (Internet Protocol) address banning allows blocking all access
    from a specific address or subnet. Use an asterisk (*) as a
    wildcard.

    Examples:
      ban thomas             - ban account 'thomas'
      ban/ip 134.233.2.111   - ban specific ip address
      ban/ip 134.233.2.*     - ban all in a subnet
      ban/ip 134.233.*.*     - even wider ban

    A single IP filter can be easy to circumvent by changing computers
    or requesting a new IP address. Setting a wide IP block filter with
    wildcards might be tempting, but remember that it may also
    accidentally block innocent users connecting from the same country
    or region.
```

    Usage:
      alias <obj> [= [alias[,alias,alias,...]]]
      alias <obj> =
      alias/category <obj> = [alias[,alias,...]:<category>

    Switches:
      category - requires ending input with :category, to store the
        given aliases with the given category.

    Assigns aliases to an object so it can be referenced by more
    than one name. Assign empty to remove all aliases from object. If
    assigning a category, all aliases given will be using this category.

    Observe that this is not the same thing as personal aliases
    created with the 'nick' command! Aliases set with alias are
    changing the object in question, making those aliases usable
    by everyone.

#### command (ObjManipCommand)
```
    This is a parent class for some of the defining objmanip commands
    since they tend to have some more variables to define new objects.

    Each object definition can have several components. First is
    always a name, followed by an optional alias list and finally an
    some optional data, such as a typeclass or a location. A comma ','
    separates different objects. Like this:

        name1;alias;alias;alias:option, name2;alias;alias ...

    Spaces between all components are stripped.

    A second situation is attribute manipulation. Such commands
    are simpler and offer combinations

        objname/attr/attr/attr, objname/attr, ...

    switch:
      reset - make a 'clean' copy off the object, thus
              removing any changes that might have been made to the original
              since it was first created.

    Create one or more copies of an object. If you don't supply any targets,
    one exact copy of the original object will be created with the name *_copy.

      cpattr[/switch] <attr> = <obj1>[,<obj2>,<obj3>,...]

    Switches:
      move - delete the attribute from the source object after copying.

    Example:
      cpattr coolness = Anna/chillout, Anna/nicety, Tom/nicety
      ->
      copies the coolness attribute (defined on yourself), to attributes
      on Anna and Tom.

    Copy the attribute one object to one or more attributes on another object.
    If you don't supply a source object, yourself is used.

#### create (CmdCreate)
```
    create new objects

    Usage:
      create[/drop] <objname>[;alias;alias...][:typeclass], <objname>...

    switch:
       drop - automatically drop the new object into your current
              location (this is not echoed). This also sets the new
              object's home to the current location rather than to you.

    Creates one or more new objects. If typeclass is given, the object
    is created as a child of this typeclass. The typeclass script is
    assumed to be located under types/ and any further
    directory structure is given in Python notation. So if you have a
    correct typeclass 'RedButton' defined in
    types/examples/red_button.py, you could create a new
    object of this type like this:

       create/drop button;red : examples.red_button.RedButton

```
    permanently delete objects

    Usage:
       destroy[/switches] [obj, obj2, obj3, [dbref-dbref], ...]

    Switches:
       override - The destroy command will usually avoid accidentally
                  destroying account objects. This switch overrides this safety.
       force - destroy without confirmation.
    Examples:
       destroy house, roof, door, 44-78
       destroy 5-10, flower, 45
       destroy/force north

    Destroys one or many objects. If dbrefs are used, a range to delete can be
    given, e.g. 4-10. Also the end points will be deleted. This command
    displays a confirmation before destroying, to make sure of your choice.
    You can specify the /force switch to bypass this confirmation.

       dig kitchen = north;n, south;s
       dig house:myrooms.MyHouseTypeclass
       dig sheer cliff;cliff;sheer = climb up, climb down

    This command is a convenient way to build rooms quickly; it creates the
    new room and you can optionally set up exits back and forth between your
    current room and the new one. You can add as many aliases as you
    like to the name of the room and the exits in question; an example
    would be 'north;no;n'.

    Switches:
      room       - only look for rooms (location=None)
      exit       - only look for exits (destination!=None)
      char       - only look for characters (BASE_CHARACTER_TYPECLASS)
      exact      - only exact matches are returned.

      startswith - search for names starting with the string, rather than containing

    Searches the database for an object of a particular name or exact #dbref.
    Use *accountname to search for an account. The switches allows for
    limiting object matches to certain game entities. Dbrefmin and dbrefmax
    limits matches to within the given dbrefs range, or above/below if only
    one is given.

               and <target> must be exit objects.

    If <object> is an exit, set its destination to <target>. Two-way operation
    instead sets the destination to the *locations* of the respective given
    arguments.
    The second form (a lone =) sets the destination to None (same as
    the unlink command) and the third form (without =) just shows the
    currently set destination.

    If no lockstring is given, shows all locks on
    object.

    Lockstring is of the form
       access_type:[NOT] func1(args)[ AND|OR][ NOT] func2(args) ...]
    Where func1, func2 ... valid lockfuncs with or without arguments.
    Separator expressions need not be capitalized.

    For example:
       'get: id(25) or perm(Admin)'
    The 'get' lock access_type is checked e.g. by the 'get' command.
    An object locked with this example lock will only be possible to pick up
    by Admins or by an object with id=25.

    You can add several access_types after one another by separating
    them by ';', i.e:
       'get:id(25); delete:perm(Builder)'

    Usage:
      mvattr[/switch] <obj>/<attr> = <obj1>/<attr1> [,<obj2>/<attr2>,<obj3>/<attr3>,...]
      mvattr[/switch] <obj>/<attr> = <obj1> [,<obj2>,<obj3>,...]
      mvattr[/switch] <attr> = <obj1>/<attr1> [,<obj2>/<attr2>,<obj3>/<attr3>,...]
      mvattr[/switch] <attr> = <obj1>[,<obj2>,<obj3>,...]

    Switches:
      copy - Don't delete the original after moving.

    Move an attribute from one object to one or more attributes on another
    object. If you don't supply a source object, yourself is used.

#### name (CmdName)
```
    change the name and/or aliases of an object

    Usage:
      name <obj> = <newname>;alias1;alias2

    Rename an object to something new. Use *obj to
    rename an account.

```
    open a new exit from the current room

    Usage:
      open <new exit>[;alias;alias..][:typeclass] [,<return exit>[;alias;..][:typeclass]]] = <destination>

    Handles the creation of exits. If a destination is given, the exit
    will point there. The <return exit> argument sets up an exit at the
    destination leading back to the current room. Destination name
    can be given both as a #dbref and a name, if that name is globally
    unique.

```
    attach a script to an object

    Usage:
      script[/switch] <obj> [= script_path or <scriptkey>]

    Switches:
      start - start all non-running scripts on object, or a given script only
      stop - stop all scripts on objects, or a given script only

    If no script path/key is given, lists all scripts active on the given
    object.
    Script path can be given from the base location for scripts as given in
    settings. If adding a new script, it will be started automatically
    (no /start switch is needed). Using the /start or /stop switches on an
    object without specifying a script key/path will start/stop ALL scripts on
    the object.

#### set (CmdSetAttribute)
```
    set attribute on an object or account

    Usage:
      set <obj>/<attr> = <value>
      set <obj>/<attr> =
      set <obj>/<attr>
      set *<account>/<attr> = <value>

    Switch:
        edit: Open the line editor (string values only)
        script: If we're trying to set an attribute on a script
        channel: If we're trying to set an attribute on a channel
        account: If we're trying to set an attribute on an account
        room: Setting an attribute on a room (global search)
        exit: Setting an attribute on an exit (global search)
        char: Setting an attribute on a character (global search)
        character: Alias for char, as above.

    Sets attributes on objects. The second example form above clears a
    previously set attribute while the third form inspects the current value of
    the attribute (if any). The last one (with the star) is a shortcut for
    operating on a player Account rather than an Object.

    The most common data to save with this command are strings and
    numbers. You can however also set Python primitives such as lists,
    dictionaries and tuples on objects (this might be important for
    the functionality of certain custom objects).  This is indicated
    by you starting your value with one of |c'|n, |c"|n, |c(|n, |c[|n
    or |c{ |n.

    Once you have stored a Python primitive as noted above, you can include
    |c[<key>]|n in <attr> to reference nested values in e.g. a list or dict.

    Remember that if you use Python primitives like this, you must
    write proper Python syntax too - notably you must include quotes
    around your strings or you will get an error.

#### sethome (CmdSetHome)
```
    set an object's home location

    Usage:
      sethome <obj> [= <home_location>]
      sethom <obj>

    The "home" location is a "safety" location for objects; they
    will be moved there if their current location ceases to exist. All
    objects should always have a home location for this reason.
    It is also a convenient target of the "home" command.

    If no location is given, just view the object's home location.

#### spawn (CmdSpawn)
```
    spawn objects from prototype

    Usage:
      spawn[/noloc] <prototype_key>
      spawn[/noloc] <prototype_dict>

      spawn/search [prototype_keykey][;tag[,tag]]
      spawn/list [tag, tag, ...]
      spawn/show [<prototype_key>]
      spawn/update <prototype_key>

      spawn/save <prototype_dict>
      spawn/edit [<prototype_key>]
      olc     - equivalent to spawn/edit

    Switches:
      noloc - allow location to be None if not specified explicitly. Otherwise,
              location will default to caller's current location.
      search - search prototype by name or tags.
      list - list available prototypes, optionally limit by tags.
      show, examine - inspect prototype by key. If not given, acts like list.
      save - save a prototype to the database. It will be listable by /list.
      delete - remove a prototype from database, if allowed to.
      update - find existing objects with the same prototype_key and update
               them with latest version of given prototype. If given with /save,
               will auto-update all objects with the old version of the prototype
               without asking first.
      edit, olc - create/manipulate prototype in a menu interface.

    Example:
      spawn GOBLIN
      spawn {"key":"goblin", "typeclass":"monster.Monster", "location":"#2"}
      spawn/save {"key": "grunt", prototype: "goblin"};;mobs;edit:all()
    
    Dictionary keys:
      |wprototype_parent  |n - name of parent prototype to use. Required if typeclass is
                        not set. Can be a path or a list for multiple inheritance (inherits
                        left to right). If set one of the parents must have a typeclass.
      |wtypeclass  |n - string. Required if prototype_parent is not set.
      |wkey        |n - string, the main object identifier
      |wlocation   |n - this should be a valid object or #dbref
      |whome       |n - valid object or #dbref
      |wdestination|n - only valid for exits (object or dbref)
      |wpermissions|n - string or list of permission strings
      |wlocks      |n - a lock-string
      |waliases    |n - string or list of strings.
      |wndb_|n<name>  - value of a nattribute (ndb_ is stripped)

      |wprototype_key|n   - name of this prototype. Unique. Used to store/retrieve from db
                            and update existing prototyped objects if desired.
      |wprototype_desc|n  - desc of this prototype. Used in listings
      |wprototype_locks|n - locks of this prototype. Limits who may use prototype
      |wprototype_tags|n  - tags of this prototype. Used to find prototype

      any other keywords are interpreted as Attributes and their values.

    The available prototypes are defined globally in modules set in
    settings.PROTOTYPE_MODULES. If spawn is used without arguments it
    displays a list of available prototypes.

#### tag (CmdTag)
```
    handles the tags of an object

    Usage:
      tag[/del] <obj> [= <tag>[:<category>]]
      tag/search <tag>[:<category]

    Switches:
      search - return all objects with a given Tag
      del - remove the given tag. If no tag is specified,
            clear all tags on object.

    Manipulates and lists tags on objects. Tags allow for quick
    grouping of and searching for objects.  If only <obj> is given,
    list all tags on the object.  If /search is used, list objects
    with the given tag.
    The category can be used for grouping tags themselves, but it
    should be used with restrain - tags on their own are usually
    enough to for most grouping schemes.

#### tel (CmdTeleport)
```
    teleport object to another location

    Usage:
      tel/switch [<object> to||=] <target location>

    Examples:
      tel Limbo
      tel/quiet box = Limbo
      tel/tonone box

    Switches:
      quiet  - don't echo leave/arrive messages to the source/target
               locations for the move.
      intoexit - if target is an exit, teleport INTO
                 the exit object instead of to its destination
      tonone - if set, teleport the object to a None-location. If this
               switch is set, <target location> is ignored.
               Note that the only way to retrieve
               an object from a None location is by direct #dbref
               reference. A puppeted object cannot be moved to None.
      loc - teleport object to the target's location instead of its contents

    Teleports an object somewhere. If no object is given, you yourself are
    teleported to the target location.

#### tunnel (CmdTunnel)
```
    create new rooms in cardinal directions only

    Usage:
      tunnel[/switch] <direction>[:typeclass] [= <roomname>[;alias;alias;...][:typeclass]]

    Switches:
      oneway - do not create an exit back to the current location
      tel - teleport to the newly created room

    Example:
      tunnel n
      tunnel n = house;mike's place;green building

    This is a simple way to build using pre-defined directions:
     |wn,ne,e,se,s,sw,w,nw|n (north, northeast etc)
     |wu,d|n (up and down)
     |wi,o|n (in and out)
    The full names (north, in, southwest, etc) will always be put as
    main name for the exit, using the abbreviation as an alias (so an
    exit will always be able to be used with both "north" as well as
    "n" for example). Opposite directions will automatically be
    created back from the new room unless the /oneway switch is given.
    For more flexibility and power in creating rooms, use dig.

#### typeclass (CmdTypeclass)
```
    set or change an object's typeclass

    Usage:
      typeclass[/switch] <object> [= typeclass.path]
      typeclass/prototype <object> = prototype_key

      typeclass/list/show [typeclass.path]
      swap - this is a shorthand for using /force/reset flags.
      update - this is a shorthand for using the /force/reload flag.

    Switch:
      show, examine - display the current typeclass of object (default) or, if
            given a typeclass path, show the docstring of that typeclass.
      update - *only* re-run at_object_creation on this object
              meaning locks or other properties set later may remain.
      reset - clean out *all* the attributes and properties on the
              object - basically making this a new clean object.
      force - change to the typeclass also if the object
              already has a typeclass of the same name.
      list - show available typeclasses. Only typeclasses in modules actually
             imported or used from somewhere in the code will show up here
             (those typeclasses are still available if you know the path)
      prototype - clean and overwrite the object with the specified
               prototype key - effectively making a whole new object.

    Example:
      type button = examples.red_button.RedButton
      type/prototype button=a red button

    If the typeclass_path is not given, the current object's typeclass is
    assumed.

    View or set an object's typeclass. If setting, the creation hooks of the
    new typeclass will be run on the object. If you have clashing properties on
    the old class, use /reset. By default you are protected from changing to a
    typeclass of the same name as the one you already have - use /force to
    override this protection.

    The given typeclass must be identified by its location using python
    dot-notation pointing to the correct module and class. If no typeclass is
    given (or a wrong typeclass is given). Errors in the path or new typeclass
    will lead to the old typeclass being kept. The location of the typeclass
    module is searched from the default typeclass directory, as defined in the
    server settings.

      irc2chan[/switches] <evennia_channel> = <ircnetwork> <port> <#irchannel> <botname>[:typeclass]
      irc2chan/delete botname|#dbid

    Switches:
      /delete     - this will delete the bot and remove the irc connection
                    to the channel. Requires the botname or #dbid as input.
      /remove     - alias to /delete
      /disconnect - alias to /delete
      /list       - show all irc<->evennia mappings
      /ssl        - use an SSL-encrypted connection

    Example:
      irc2chan myircchan = irc.dalnet.net 6667 #mychannel evennia-bot
      irc2chan public = irc.freenode.net 6667 #evgaming #evbot:accounts.mybot.MyBot

    This creates an IRC bot that connects to a given IRC network and
    channel. If a custom typeclass path is given, this will be used
    instead of the default bot class.
    The bot will relay everything said in the evennia channel to the
    IRC channel and vice versa. The bot will automatically connect at
    server start, so this command need only be given once. The
    /disconnect switch will permanently delete the bot. To only
    temporarily deactivate it, use the  |wservices|n command instead.
    Provide an optional bot class path to use a custom bot.

    will be echoed as a title and news link to the given channel. The rate of
    updating is set with the RSS_UPDATE_INTERVAL variable in settings (default
    is every 10 minutes).

    When disconnecting you need to supply both the channel and url again so as
    to identify the connection uniquely.

#### nick (CmdNick)
```
    define a personal alias/nick by defining a string to
    match and replace it with another on the fly

    Usage:
      nick[/switches] <string> [= [replacement_string]]
      nick[/switches] <template> = <replacement_template>
      nick/delete <string> or number
      nicks

    Switches:
      inputline - replace on the inputline (default)
      object    - replace on object-lookup
      account   - replace on account-lookup
      list      - show all defined aliases (also "nicks" works)
      delete    - remove nick by index in /list
      clearall  - clear all nicks

    Examples:
      nick hi = say Hello, I'm Sarah!
      nick/object tom = the tall man
      nick build $1 $2 = create/drop $1;$2
      nick tell $1 $2=page $1=$2
      nick tm?$1=page tallman=$1
      nick tm\=$1=page tallman=$1

    A 'nick' is a personal string replacement. Use $1, $2, ... to catch arguments.
    Put the last $-marker without an ending space to catch all remaining text. You
    can also use unix-glob matching for the left-hand side <string>:

        * - matches everything
        ? - matches 0 or 1 single characters
        [abcd] - matches these chars in any order
        [!abcd] - matches everything not among these chars
        \= - escape literal '=' you want in your <string>

    Note that no objects are actually renamed or changed by this command - your nicks
    are only available to you. If you want to permanently add keywords to an object
    for everyone to use, you need build privileges and the alias command.

    Switches:
      time - output an approximate execution time for <cmd>
      edit - open a code editor for multi-line code experimentation
      clientraw - turn off all client-specific escaping. Note that this may
        lead to different output depending on prototocol (such as angular brackets
        being parsed as HTML in the webclient but not in telnet clients)
      noecho - in Python console mode, turn off the input echo (e.g. if your client
        does this for you already)

    Without argument, open a Python console in-game. This is a full console,
    accepting multi-line Python code for testing and debugging. Type `exit()` to
    return to the game. If Evennia is reloaded, the console will be closed.

    Enter a line of instruction after the 'py' command to execute it
    immediately.  Separate multiple commands by ';' or open the code editor
    using the /edit switch (all lines added in editor will be executed
    immediately when closing or using the execute command in the editor).

    A few variables are made available for convenience in order to offer access
    to the system (you can import more at execution time).

    Available variables in py environment:
      self, me                   : caller
      here                       : caller.location
      evennia                    : the evennia API
      inherits_from(obj, parent) : check object inheritance

    You can explore The evennia API from inside the game by calling
    the `__doc__` property on entities:
        py evennia.__doc__
        py evennia.managers.__doc__

      reload [reason]

    This restarts the server. The Portal is not
    affected. Non-persistent scripts will survive a reload (use
    reset to purge) and at_reload() hooks will be called.

#### reset (CmdReset)
```
    reset and reboot the server

    Usage:
      reset

    Notes:
      For normal updating you are recommended to use reload rather
      than this command. Use shutdown for a complete stop of
      everything.

    This emulates a cold reboot of the Server component of Evennia.
    The difference to shutdown is that the Server will auto-reboot
    and that it does not affect the Portal, so no users will be
    disconnected. Contrary to reload however, all shutdown hooks will
    be called and any non-database saved scripts, ndb-attributes,
    cmdsets etc will be wiped.

#### scripts (CmdScripts)
```
    list and manage all running scripts

    Usage:
      scripts[/switches] [#dbref, key, script.path or <obj>]

    Switches:
      start - start a script (must supply a script path)
      stop - stops an existing script
      kill - kills a script - without running its cleanup hooks
      validate - run a validation on the script(s)

    If no switches are given, this command just views all active
    scripts. The argument can be either an object, at which point it
    will be searched for all scripts defined on it, or a script name
    or #dbref. For using the /stop switch, a unique script #dbref is
    required since whole classes of scripts often have the same name.

    Use script for managing commands on objects.

#### server (CmdServerLoad)
```
    show server load and memory statistics

    Usage:
       server[/mem]

    Switches:
        mem - return only a string of the current memory usage
        flushmem - flush the idmapper cache

    This command shows server load statistics and dynamic memory
    usage. It also allows to flush the cache of accessed database
    objects.

    Some Important statistics in the table:

    |wServer load|n is an average of processor usage. It's usually
    between 0 (no usage) and 1 (100% usage), but may also be
    temporarily higher if your computer has multiple CPU cores.

    The |wResident/Virtual memory|n displays the total memory used by
    the server process.

    Evennia |wcaches|n all retrieved database entities when they are
    loaded by use of the idmapper functionality. This allows Evennia
    to maintain the same instances of an entity and allowing
    non-persistent storage schemes. The total amount of cached objects
    are displayed plus a breakdown of database object types.

    The |wflushmem|n switch allows to flush the object cache. Please
    note that due to how Python's memory management works, releasing
    caches may not show you a lower Residual/Virtual memory footprint,
    the released memory will instead be re-used by the program.

      start  - activates or reactivate a service
      stop   - stops/inactivate a service (can often be restarted)
      delete - tries to permanently remove a service

    Service management system. Allows for the listing,
    starting, and stopping of services. If no switches
    are given, services will be listed. Note that to operate on the
    service you have to supply the full (green or red) name as given
    in the list.
