In addition to operations available via control panel, Plesk software provides several
advanced management capabilities, available to the administrator from the command
line. The administrator can:
Use event tracking mechanism to organize data interchange between Plesk and
external systems
Include domain-specific Apache configuration directives into web server
configuration file
Change Tomcat connector ports

Using Event Tracking Mechanism
The Event Manager is designed to help you organize data interchange between Plesk
and external systems. It works the following way: you create a script to be executed
upon a certain control panel event, and then create an event handler that triggers the
event processing. You can assign several handlers to a single event.
Important: Plesk administrator can create the event handlers that will be run on the
server on behalf of user root. If you wish to restrict usage of the root account, create an
empty file with name root.event_handler.lock in the location
/plesk_installation_directory/var/.
