Plesk command line interface (CLI) is designed for integration of
Plesk with third-party applications. It can also be used for managing
Plesk installations by administrators experienced in using Plesk and
Microsoft Windows command line. This feature provides a command line
interface to the majority of management tasks that the Plesk
administrator performs. Plesk CLI provides the alternative means of
control for various business objects in Plesk. The command line
utilities use Plesk’s core functionality to create, manage, or delete
customers, domains, services, and other Plesk objects.
Each command line utility either duplicates the functions available
through the Plesk GUI, or performs operations beyond the Plesk GUI
scope. Depending on this, each utility belongs to the Standard or
Extended group correspondingly.
The current version of Plesk provides the following command line
utilities (in alphabetical order):
