How can I add custom Skeleton Directories?

[acidbox]

So here is my dilema.

I am trying to make a custom skeleton for Plesk 7.5.4 and am running into an issue.

The documentation says that it will only recognize certain directories, i.e.

Skeleton file may contain the following top-level directories only:

* httpdocs
* conf
* cgi-bin
* anon_ftp
* error_docs

I need to be able to deviate from this for two reasons.

a.) I want to add some custom files to the /lib/ and /usr/ directories

b.) I want to create another top-level directory (i.e. customdir)

There has to be a way around this. Anyone know how to do this?

If not, is there a way I can get Plesk to run a custom bash script while creating a domain? That way I could write the code to put the correct files in place and plesk could just run the script after it does its thing...

Let me know

Yes... Ever checked the manual?

The Event Manager will do the trick - look for "Physical Hosting created" and "Subdomain created"

Thanks I figured that part out.

One question.

When I use <new_system_user_password> in my bash script, it outputs xxxxxx instead of the actual password. Is there some way to reveal the REAL password instead of a bunch of x's?
