Composing Advanced CLI Statements

Below are some more advanced examples of using CLI for operators:

This packet is valid for exp_plesk_domain operator:

<packet version="0.1.1.0">

     <refresh>

          <filter>

               <server_id>3</server_id>

          </filter>

          <dataset>

               <gen_info/>

               <stat/>

               <prefs/>

               <limits/>

               <hosting/>

               <user/>

          </dataset>

     </refresh>

</packet>

This packet tells Plesk Expand to reload data (general information, statistics, preferences, limits, physical hosting and user information) of Plesk server with ID=3.

CLI variant:

$ exp_plesk_domain refresh filter [ server_id=3 ] dataset gen_info- \

     stat- prefs- limits- hosting- user-

To reload the same set of data on several Plesk servers, provide these servers IDs in square brackets:

$ exp_plesk_domain refresh filter [ server_id=1 server_id=2 server_id=3 ] dataset gen_info- \

     stat- prefs- limits- hosting- user-

For terminal nodes, which have neither text data values nor other child nodes, it's good to use a '-' sign at the end of their names. This construction is also valid (though lengthier):

$ exp_plesk_domain refresh filter [ server_id=1 server_id=2 server_id=3 ] dataset \

     gen_info [ ] stat [ ] prefs [ ] limits [ ] hosting [ ] \

     user [ ]

One more example:

<packet version="0.1.1.0">

     <add>

          <gen_setup>

               <name>Basic</name>

               <htype>vrt_hst</htype>

          </gen_setup>

          <hosting>

               <vrt_hst>

                    <fp>false</fp>

                    <fp_ssl>false</fp_ssl>

                    <fp_auth>false</fp_auth>

                    <use_shell>true</use_shell>

               </vrt_hst>

          </hosting>

     </add>

</packet>

This packet tells Plesk Expand to create a domain template Basic, with hosting type physical hosting, with permission shell access enabled and other specified permissions disabled. Direct this packet to the standard input of operator exp_plesk_tmpl_domain.

CLI variant of this packet:

$ exp_plesk_tmpl_domain add gen_setup [ name='First of all' \

     htype=vrt_hst ] hosting vrt_hst [ fp=false fp_ssl=false \

     fp_auth=false use_shell=true ]

If this seems bogus for reading, try to put more brackets, e.g. in the following way:

$ exp_plesk_tmpl_domain add [ \

     gen_setup [ name='First of all' htype=vrt_hst ] \

     hosting [ vrt_hst [ fp=false fp_ssl=false fp_auth=false \

     use_shell=true ] ] ]
