Command Parameter Description Example

--add or -a

<option_name>

Adds a hosting plan item for an additional service.

When adding a plan item through the command line, you must specify a globally unique identifier (GUID). You can generate a GUID by using, for example, http://www.guidgenerator.com.

You are running an online support service at http://premium-support.example.com, and want to include the support option into service plans. The following command will create a custom plan option named Premium support which will add a hyperlink to your online service into Control Panel of each user whose plan includes that option:

custom_plan_items.exe --add "Premium support" -uuid "5a2d0766-3154-49ed-93a0-05a84ae601bd" -visible true -label "Premium support" -url "http://premium-support.example.com" -tooltip "Contact our support service for assistance" -image-file "c:\tmp\my-company-logo.png"

Now, to include this Premium support option into the hosting plan named Example Plan:

>service_plan.exe --add-custom-plan-item "Example Plan" -custom-plan-item-name "Premium support"

--update or -u

<option_ name>

Changes settings of an existing plan option.

To modify the Premium support option so as to change the link to the service to another-company.example.com:

custom_plan_items.exe --update "Premium support" -url "another-company.example.com"

--remove or -r

<option_name>

Removes a plan option.

To remove the plan option Premium support:

custom_plan_items.exe --remove "Premium support"
