Shell Commands...

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello, everyone. Again. I was wondering, is it possible to issue a shell command through codeigniter?

My server, which I own, has Plesk Control Panel on it, and I would like to be able to correlate some of my scripts with the Plesk Control Panel. All I know is that i can use a shell command or twenty to get information out of it, as well as manipulate accounts. I'm going to try and link my account management system with PayPal to get payment dates and the status of payments, etc. However, if a payment is missed, I would like to be able to have my account management system automatically disable the user's account in Plesk. Is this possible?

Also, when i get information about an account via the shell, it spews out this massive output with several rows of text. How would I go about segregating stuff such as their state, or phone number, domain name, etc?

Thanks for any input you all might have for me.
