The plesk command is the main entry point for managing Plesk Panel installations from the command line.
It provides a robust set of subcommands and options to automate and script various administrative tasks, including domain creation, customer management, database operations, service control, and system updates.
It's essential for administrators who prefer shell access or need to perform bulk operations and integrate Plesk management into existing automation workflows.
It interacts directly with the Plesk internal API and database, offering a powerful alternative to the web-based GUI for advanced management.

Most operations executed via the plesk command require root or sudo privileges.
Incorrect usage, especially with powerful subcommands like db or repair, can lead to data loss or service disruption.
The command is only available on servers with a Plesk Panel installation.
Syntax and available subcommands may vary slightly between different Plesk versions.

The plesk command is extensively used for automating administrative tasks, such as provisioning new domains, managing customer accounts, migrating data, and integrating Plesk functionalities into custom scripts and external systems.

Many plesk subcommands support various output formats, including XML, JSON, and CSV, which facilitates parsing and processing command output in scripts for automated workflows and data analysis.

Plesk Panel has been a prominent web hosting control panel since the early 2000s, evolving from its roots as Confixx.
The command-line utility has developed in parallel with the graphical user interface, providing administrators with a powerful tool for server management, automation, and scripting.
Its modular design allows for a flexible structure, enabling new functionalities to be seamlessly integrated as subcommands, reflecting the panel's expanding capabilities.
