# serverCommandExecutable

*Command · Multiplayer · Arma 3 v1.34*

## Description

Returns [true](../commands/true.md) if the [serverCommand](../commands/serverCommand.md) can be performed on the machine and in this exact environment, otherwise [false](../commands/false.md). serverCommand can be executed only from [User Interface Event Handlers](../topics/User_Interface_Event_Handlers.md), and this command also checks if that's the case.

## Syntax

```sqf
serverCommandExecutable command
```

**Parameters:**

- `command`: [String](../topics/String.md) - see Multiplayer Server Commands for all available commands

**Returns:** [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
_canKick = serverCommandAvailable "#kick";
```

### Example 2

Add button to the main map to lock server, which could only be activated by admin:

```sqf
with uiNamespace do {
    ctrl = findDisplay 12 ctrlCreate ["RscButton", -1];
    ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0, 0, 0.5, 0.1];
    ctrl ctrlCommit 0;
    ctrl ctrlSetText "LOCK SERVER";
    ctrl ctrlAddEventHandler ["ButtonDown",
    {    
        if (serverCommandExecutable "#lock") then {
            serverCommand "#lock";
        } else {
            hint "You need to be logged in as admin to do this";
        };
    }];
};
```
