RCON command to execute sqf files or public vars
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,

In creating systems to monitor and manage my server, I soon came up against a problem: I can't manage anything from outside the game.

I'd like to be able to display messages in the middle of my players' screens from my external tools (e.g. my website) without needing to launch my game or other actions like that.
There are library solutions that allow you to create HTTP servers that interact with the SQF, but it's not an optimal solution in the end.

The idea would be to add an RCON command to execute an action with a path to an SQF file. Or be able to manage public server variable or even create a new rcon variable that sqf can handle.
For example: run warn_player.sqf <steamid> <reason>

run warn_player.sqf 765611 You are a very bad player!

The command pattern would be : run <script.sqf> <data>

This would simplify server management by using an already secure protocol (rcon).
