CraftBukkit commands

The following are all the server commands either a server administrator or admin in-game can enter with CraftBukkit out-of-the-box. In addition to the original vanilla SMP commands there are 3 additional commands which are specific to CraftBukkit. CraftBukkit provides built-in permissions which can be used in a permissions manager. Defaults are also observed for the permissions. There are also additional permissions which group together several of the single permissions.
