Execute console commands from plugins...

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to do it using only the bukkit API, or if its planned for a future bukkit version. I have a plugin that allows Telnet access to your server console, but to get it to work I have to call console commands from the MinecraftServer class itself rather then bukkit.

 

In CraftBukkit the server implementation has the following method:

Code:

    public boolean dispatchCommand(CommandSender sender, String commandLine) {
        return commandMap.dispatch(sender, commandLine);
    }

To use this you would just have to include CraftBukkit as one of your referenced jars and then cast the Server object in your plugin as CraftServer:

Code:

    if (server instanceof CraftServer)
    {
        ((CraftServer) server).dispatchCommand(...);
    }

P.S. I haven't tried this, just read through the code based on what you are asking. There may be an easier way that more-seasoned folks would know.

 

Hey, Thanks for the response I tried out your suggestion (was easy to try since I'm already referencing Craftbukkit.jar) but alas got nothing. Tried a couple different ways

Code:

 ((CraftServer)getServer()).dispatchCommand(this,commandString);

Since my class implements CommandSender I can use "this" in the above command.

Also tried

Code:

((CraftServer)getServer()).dispatchCommand(new ConsoleCommandSender(getServer()), commandString);

Just to see if it would work with the ConsoleCommandSender class, but also no go.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, maybe its just broken or unimplemented right now and will be fixed later.
