##server-restart-hint## This script does not really restart the server. It simply talks to the server, and lets it know that a restart is coming up.

When that happens, the server does some final cleanup activities such as saving all the vehicles, and objects that are active in the map.
Also, the server notifies all players that are currently connected to the server, that a restart is coming up, and coerces them to report their stats.

The script waits for the server's acknowledgement that it has completed the tasks, for up to --wait number of seconds.

Options:
  --host      host, IP address of the stats server to connect to   [required]
  --port      port number of the stats server to connect to        [required]
  --wait      total number of seconds to wait for server response  [default: 120]
  --name      prefix name of the server to communicate with        [default: "A3W"]

##server-boot-players## This script boots all the players to the lobby

The script waits for the server's acknowledgement that it has completed the tasks, for up to --wait number of seconds.

Options:
  --host      host, IP address of the stats server to connect to   [required]
  --port      port number of the stats server to connect to        [required]
  --wait      total number of seconds to wait for server response  [default: 120]
  --name      prefix name of the server to communicate with        [default: "A3W"]

##inidb-migrate## This script is used for migrating an existing iniDB database to the sock-rpc-stats system.

It simply navigates through all the ini files on a user-specified directory, and loads the data into a running sock-rpc-stats server.

The logic is as follows:

• The name of each ini file becomes a new scope in the stats server

• Each section inside an ini file becomes a key in within the respective scope

• variables inside a section become nested keys

The rules for parsing variable values are as follows (in order of evaluation):

• If the variable name is in the --ignored list, then ignore it
• If the variable name is in the --strings list, then coerce it into a JSON String
• If the variable name is in the --numbers list, then coerce it into a JSON Number, or set the value to 0
• If the variable name is in the --booleans list, then coerce it into a JSON Boolean (false values are: "false", "0", "", "null", "nil")
• If it matches "-1.#IND", "-1.#INF", or NaN is treated s JSON Number 0
• If it matches "nil", value is set to JSON null
• If the value cab be parsed using JSON.parse, the use the parsed value
• Otherwise, coerce the value into a JSON String

Options:
  --host      IP address of the stats server to connect to                     [default: "localhost"]
  --port      port number of the stats server to connect to                    [default: 1337]
  --path      path to the directory that contains the database ini files       [required]
  --prefix    prefix value for filtering the list of ini files (e.g. "A3W_")  [default: ""]
  --strings   list of variable names that should be coerced into JSON String   [default: "ownerUID,UID"]
  --numbers   list of variable names that should be coerced into JSON Number   [default: ""]
  --booleans  list of variable names that should be coerced into JSON Boolean  [default: ""]
  --ignored   list of variable names that should be ignored                    [default: ""]
  --trace     trace the JSON content of the parsed ini files                   [default: false]

##couch-doc-restore## This script allows administrator to restore a CouchDB document from its previous revisions. Using the script the admin can choose a set of revisions to merge and use the merged contents to replace the most recent revision.

Options:
  --host      CouchDB hostname, or IP                        [string] [required]
  --db        CouchDB database name                          [string] [required]
  --doc       CouchDB document name                          [string] [required]
  --help, -h  Show help                                                [boolean]
