Any way to set any of the following via command line?

[HostaHost]

We really need to automate the setup of new servers; is it possible to set any of the following by command line?

• Adding Event Manager events.
• On the "Server settings" area, changing the retain webstats number, turn off including logs in disk usage, setting traffic to outbound only.
• Adding and removing records from the default DNS template.
• On the "Mail settings" area, setting the max message size, enabling the submission port, switching on SPF and choosing the option, setting the DNSRBL on and adding servers.
• Changing the default spam filter threshold.
• Adding/removing notification selections and enabling and adding a custom email address.
• Changing the retention time on the Action Log screen.
• Enabling "Do not show newsfeeds in webmail and on default domain pages" on the Interface Management screen.

You can find all possibilities with CLI utilities in Command Line Reference Guide

Got it. Only ran into a few minor issues:

1) I can't find a way to change the action log retention time via command line.
2) For event handlers, the location of the correct command is /usr/local/psa/bin/event_handler
3) For the /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref utility, the argument to update settings is --update rather than -update, or you can use -u. These options are not yet in the manual but are available:

    -autoupdates       <true|false>    Automatically download and install
                                       updates for the currently installed
                                       version
    -release-tier      <tier>          Notify me when the upgrade to the
                                       following Panel version is available
    -autoupgrade-stable  <true|false>  Upgrade to a new stable version of
                                       Panel when it becomes available

4) The mail server settings have to be run one at a time, for example, you can't run:

/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --set-max-letter-size 35M --set-maps-status true --set-maps-zone bl.spamcop.net,zen.spamhaus.org --use-vocabulary true --update-spf --set-message-submission true -spf-status true -spf-behavior 3

You have to run the mail server commands one at a time and in a specific order or they'll fail:

/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --set-max-letter-size 35M
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --set-maps-zone bl.spamcop.net,zen.spamhaus.org
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --set-maps-status true 
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --use-vocabulary true
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --set-message-submission true
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --update-spf -spf-status true
/usr/local/psa/bin/mailserver --update-spf -spf-behavior 3

Can the server admin IP address restrictions be set via command line and/or the database? No mention of that in the manual.

Actually it requires a change in the misc table too; but no command line interface for just setting them like "./ip_restrict 1.2.3.4/21 allow" or similar?
