Plesk CLI is a set of utilities which use Plesk core functionality to provide alternative control over the Plesk business objects. It is possible to create, update and remove clients, domains, mail addresses and other objects, controllable from Plesk Control Panel web interface.

Plesk CLI utilities may be used by the root user from the console or script. Utilities require "root" or "psaadm" privileges to operate.

Plesk CLI supports localized names of business objects in the same fashion as Plesk itself. It means, you can create clients with contact name using your native locale. To force some particular locale, you should set LANG environment variable appropriately.

Plesk CLI does not require the web interface of Plesk Server Administrator to be run.
