Read server console input

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a way to use a command of my plugin from the server console, so the admin can call the command by not logging in and joining the server, but tipping it in the server console.
Is there another way for this instead of starting a thread which read the System.in stream? Like a class created by bukkit?

Thanks for help.

If you mean that you want a plugin to receive commands from the console instead only from the game, that's how it works by default.

 

How do you mean it? When it is handeld by "ServerCommand" I can't have a method to read the command text.
Sry, when I don't see the goal, but I don't have a clear idea ^^

 

The "onCommand" in your projects' main file handles both console commands and player commands.

 

I'm sry, but I tried this out and it didn't work.

Code:

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand (CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        super.onCommand(sender, command, label, args);
        System.out.println("TEST");
        return true;
    }

When I use the command "help" or other command, I can't read an output in my console nor anywhere.

 

Do we misunderstand each other?
if you use a command on the console (assuming you have registered it) it arrives in your plugin the same way an in-game command does.

Do you want to read something else than commands from the console?

 

Okay, I hope, I will explain this cleary enough ^^:

I'm working on my backup plugin and I want to implement that the admin can write in the console "backup" and the backup is made.
What I want is a way to handle the console input like it is handeled when the admin wrote "help" or "time" or something else.
I'm very sorry for the missunderstandings.

Okay, so you want to write "backup" to the console to make your plugin do something
And we keep telling you that that's how it works by default because it doesn't matter if you write "backup" into console or "/backup" in the game. If you register "backup" command in plugin.yml, you will get it in onCommand whether it is from game or from console.

 

Oh I'm sry for this, I am ashamend of this solution. But thanks to you, I know now how it works.
