Getting Started With Command Line Utilities

Command line utilities for Plesk for Windows are located in the folder defined by the Windows environment variable %admin_bin%. By default, it is C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin. If your Plesk is installed not to default paths, all utilities are located at <plesk installation directory>\admin\bin.

To run command line utilities:

1. Log in to the Plesk server as Administrator or another user with administrator's privileges.
2. Use one of the following options to run a utility:
   • To run a utility from any directory, use the following command line format:

     >%plesk_dir%admin/bin/<utility name> [parameters] [options]

   • To make %plesk_dir%admin\bin\ your current directory and run a utility from its "home directory", run the following commands:

     >cd %plesk_dir%admin\bin

     ><utility name> [parameters] [options]

For exact command syntax of each utility, consult the corresponding sections in the Chapter "Using Command Line Utilities".
