For instance, let's create an event handler for the 'client account creation' event. The handler will accept a client name as the first parameter, and the client's login as the second. For simplicity we will use a batch file called test-handler.bat that looks as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "--------------" >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
rem information on the event date and time
date /T   >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
rem information on the created client account
echo "client created" >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
rem client's name
echo "name: %1"       >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
rem client's login
echo "login: %2"      >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
echo "--------------" >> c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This script prints some information to a file so that we could control its execution.

Suppose, that our script is located in the directory c:\program files\swsoft\plesk\scripts\. Let's register it by creating an event handler via the control panel:

Now if you login to your Plesk control panel and create a new client, specifying the value 'Some Client' in the 'Contact name' field, and 'some_client' in the field 'Login', the handler will be invoked, and the following records will be added to the c:\windows\temp\event_handler.log:

--------------
	Sat Jun 26 21:46:34 NOVT 2004
	client created
	name: Some client
	login: some_client
	--------------

If you want to specify one or few handlers more, repeat the actions above for another handler.

In order to remove one or several event handlers, in the list of handlers select the corresponding checkboxes and click Remove selected.

The parameter templates that can be used when setting up an event handler are presented in the table below:
