-# DayZ RCON Client CLI
+## DayZ Server Management Tool
 
-This Python script provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for DayZ server owners to manage their servers using RCON (Remote Console) commands. The script reads server credentials from a `credentials.json` file and offers various features such as listing players, sending messages, locking/unlocking the server, kicking, and banning players.
+This project is a Python tool for managing a DayZ server using the BattlEye RCON protocol. Key features include:
 
-## Features and Usage
+- Listing players on the server.
+- Sending global and direct messages to players.
+- Locking and unlocking the server.
+- Kicking single players or all players.
+- Banning and unbanning players, including by SteamID.
+- Soft and hard server restart options.
