Ensim former Parallels Pro Control Panel X for Linux has a command line interface scripts as you SHOULD know ๐ which allows you to do several administrative tasks without login to the appliance. The other day I started to write an API in order to admin N Ensim servers with only 1 interface which is a lot of work/code but hell, I’ll post some screenshots later ๐ … So one of the biggest problems I had was the script ChangePasswdVirtUser (located in /usr/local/bin), which allows you to change a virtual user’s password asking for the new password 2 times and I didn’t want to ruin my weekend and decided to hack that script and make it work like this: ChangePasswdVirtUser domain.com user newpassword
That’s so insecure! I know and I’ll come later with a more secure alternative don’t worry ๐ in the meantime you can play with it:
File: /usr/local/bin/ChangePasswdVirtUser1
#!/usr/bin/ensim-python

# Usage:

# ChangePasswdVirtUser
