/*
# This is a simple linux command line utility to execute rcon commands
# Just change the YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE to your rcon password (unless
# you want to enter it every time) and possibly change the default
# IP address from 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# once downloaded on your linux system, compile it with:
#
#   gcc -o rcon rcon.c
#
# note, it should work on non-linux too, but may require changing the 
# socket stuff (i.e. windows will definitely need to add the winsock
# initialization line)
