DayZ admin commands are typed in the in-game chat and start with #. First set an Admin password in Game settings, join your server and type #login <password>. After that you can use #kick <name> to remove a player, #exec ban <name> to ban one, #monitor <seconds> to watch server performance and #shutdown to stop the server. Type #logout when you are done.

Frequently asked questions

Why does #login say wrong password?

Check that you saved Admin password and restarted the server afterwards. The password is case-sensitive.

Does #shutdown restart the server?

No. It stops the server. Start it again with Start in the panel, or use a restart schedule instead.

Does DayZ have RCON?

Yes, through BattlEye. Set RCON Password on the Startup page and use an RCON tool or CFTools Cloud with the RCON Port shown there.
