Using the Minecraft Command Console
From CyberWurx Customer Wiki
Minecraft Command Console is a simple way to run basic commands on the console of the game and preform other basic tasks not available to a user with standard FTP access. It is a simple script that runs every minute. This guide is designed to teach you how to utilize this tool to your benefit.

Configuration
Minecraft command console is disabled by default. If you would like to use this exciting new feature, you will need to configure it.
Simply open the file: console.cfg
Add your email after email= :
- Example
email=myemail@host.com
Properly Using the Command Console
The script will take each of your commands one by one (line by line) and run them. It is very important to use the proper syntax for commands, or they will not run properly. Once the commands run, the command list will automatically clear itself out.
- Refer back to this document for information regarding the command console.
Command Syntax
We are going to use a string of commands for an example here. I want to use several commands before I turn off my server to make sure it was properly saved. I could also do an emergency backup in case I want to download a quick world file.
To do this, you would simply open the commands.txt file in the root directory ( / ) of ftp. If you do not see a commands.txt, simply create one and upload it (it should be there already). When you have commands.txt open, simply add each command you want to run line by line. Here is an example of an emergency backup and server shutdown (this is useful for updating minecraft).
Here is how you do it:
save-all emergency-backup stop
These three commands will be taken and interpreted by the command console script one by one. A report of the commands will be emailed to you.
