You don't really need a tool for rcon... I just use the basic rcon command... it's easier to type in than something like amx_rcon... and also, using the basic rcon command gives you more power.... I win...

I use adminmod, but you can set up rcon without it. In your server.cfg file, put the line "rcon_password i_leik_pai" where "i_leik_pai" would be where your password would go. Then, log on to your server, and type the same command as is in your server.cfg file. When run on a client, this will authenticate you with your server and give you access to the rcon command. You can then use the rcon command to execute console commands on your server.
you see im asking this because of my gui that i made im thinking to use adminmod rcon and i did for most of it but in a line where you use 2 spaces example messagemode admin_rcon mp_falldamage this would show the command in say mode automaticaly and all u have to type in the variable into it but i cant do 2 spaces....
I use a custom set of AMX mod plugins that I wrote for my admins. I personally use RCon and HLSW to manage the server remotely. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Just thought I'd comment on the messagemode thing. What messagemode does is take some input from you as if you were typing something to say, and passes it back to the command. Unfortuantely, it wraps what you input in ", so when the command is processed it thinks it only has one parameter.
Example 1:
You type 'admin_ban Crash 60' in console. This bans me for 60 mins obviously. The command recieves two parameters -> 'Crash' and '60'. No problem there.
Example 2:
You have a bind for 'messagemode admin_ban'. You push the key and type 'Crash 60'. The command now recieves one parameter -> 'Crash 60'. It will try to ban someone with the name (or part of the name) 'Crash 60'.
This was a problem I faced and overcame by first removing the outer quotes (easy in AMX -> remove_quotes(<text_var>) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->), then running a second parsing command that splits up text for you.
Hopefully this hasn't bored you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
