/usr/local/psa/bin/dns --info <domain> gives output if DNS control is off

Frater

Regular Pleskian
We have several Plesk servers and many domains.
One Plesk server normally handles domains with DNS-control (though not all) and the others have foreign DNS-control.

Today I changed the MX-record of a domain on the Plesk-server and found out a bit later that this server didn't have DNS-control. Normally I would have turned DNS-control off on this server, but apparently I forgot this when I initially configured this domain.

Now I want to write a little script in bash that checks if DNS-control is turned off if the DNS is foreign.

This would have been easy if the CLI-utility /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --info <domain> would give me the info if DNS-control is turned off. I'm able to turn it off or on with this utility, but I can't see its current status.

When DNS-control is turned off for a specific domain it will still give the records it would have if it had control.
The utility shouldn't do this.


Could this be changed?

Anyone knows how I can query the 'psa' database for this setting?

Thanks Igor for this fast reply.
I immediately started to write the script...

As you can see I'm better with bash than with mysql
I just copied the mysql statement from an example.
I know that the one that should merely get the domains is wrong.
Maybe you can give the proper one.

The script is working though!!!
