Hi,
it seems like Plesk CLI Commands are unable to process space characters in Parameters.
For example:
Bash:
# plesk bin service_plan --info "Default Admin"
An error occurred while getting the hosting plan information: Unknown option 'Admin': /usr/local/psa/bin/service_plan --info Default Admin
I tried using double quotes, single quotes, Escaping with Backslash… The command always fails at the space.
The same happens with every cli command we tried.

Does anyone know of a way to provede the command with the correct names, which contain spaces?
 
Thanks for your reply. It really helped.

When I try to execute the command from the bash, which is started by ssh, I have this problem. When I start a new bash from within it works as it should.
I don't really understand why this happens, but now I can at least work correctly with the CLI.
