| OPEN\_MP\_TAGS:... | Indefinite number of arguments of any tag. |

## Returns

This function always returns 1.

## Examples

```c
SendRconCommand("gmx");
// This is a scripted version of typing "/rcon gmx" in-game.
// GMX restarts the game mode.

// Example using format()
new szMapName[] = "Los Santos";
new szCmd[64];
format(szCmd, sizeof(szCmd), "mapname %s", szMapName);

// PRO TIP: You don't need `format` in open.mp
SendRconCommand("game.map %s", szMapName);
```
