The 'type' and 'columns' are required if creating a new index. The column names should be comma separated.
Index name and extra options are not required if 'cleanup' is specified.

List all tables, indexes, users or last audit entries.
Optionally specify table= when using this option to get list of indexes to get data for a specific table.

report= email=[no,auto]
Email a report to the configured address. When set to auto the emailing will be done only if the current time matches with the report scheduler settings.

mailtest= debug=[0,1,2,3,4]
Test Emailing (please make sure that all Email Settings are completed)

setssl=[clean]
Grab all subdomain SSL certificates and add them to the global SSL certificate table. If 'clean' is specified the table will be cleaned first by removing all the previously imported, but not manually added, data.

import= (please make sure that the data provider details are already setup).

add in= to= (add domains in autoquery to a category).

remove in= from= (remove domains in autoquery from a category).

txtscan= days=[0,1,2..30] hours=[0,1,2..24]

Take home page webshots of domains that have valid HTTP destination URL.
Optionally use days=N to specify if a new screenshot should be taken if the earlier version is older than N days (default is 7 days).
The 'count' specifies the number of domains that will be processed on each pass (default is 12, setting it to 0 will process all domains).
The scriptfile will be executed once for each domain with the domain name as a parameter.

update [--force] [-y]
Check for minor version updates. Download the latest version, if available, and unzip into the installation folder after confirming.
Use --force to download even if the installation is current.
Use -y to overwrite current installation folder without confirming.

Check for Minor Version Updates, Install if Available.

php sed.php update

The above will ask for installation confirmation if a new version is available. Use '-y' to install without confirming first.

php sed.php update -y

Creating a New Index

php sed.php index=domain_new_index new table=domains columns=customer_invoice type=simple

The above will attempt to create a new simple index named domain_new_index in the domain table for the column named customer_invoice.

You can specify more than one column (separate them with commas) for the 'column's parameter.

Deleting an Index

php sed.php index=domain_new_index drop table=domains

The above will attempt to delete the index named domain_new_index in the domain table.

Add Domains in Auto-Query to a Category

php sed.php add in="Domains with GoDaddy as Registrar" to="GoDaddy Domains"

The above will copy the domains in the auto-query named Domains with GoDaddy as Registrar to the category named GoDaddy Domains

Please remember to wrap category or auto-query names, that have spaces in them, within quotes.

Remove Domains in Auto-Query from a Category

php sed.php remove in="Domains with GoDaddy as Registrar" from="GoDaddy Domains"

The above will remove the domains in the auto-query named Domains with GoDaddy as Registrar from the category named GoDaddy Domains

Please remember to wrap category or auto-query names, that have spaces in them, within quotes.

Web Page Screenshots

php sed.php webshot= days=[1,2..30] count=[0,1,2..30]

Take home page webshots of domains that have valid HTTP destination URL. Optionally use days=N to specify if a new screenshot should be taken if the earlier version is older than N days (default is 7 days). The 'count' specifies the number of domains that will be processed on each pass (default is 12, setting it to 0 will process all domains).

If both 'days' and 'count' is set to 0, the 'count' will be reset to 50.

The scriptfile will be executed once for each domain with the domain name as a parameter. You need not specify a script file if you have installed Puppeteer and setup the Prerequisites as mentioned in the following article.

You can use other methods also to take webpage screenshots. The image files may be saved as <domainname>.jpg, <domainname>.png or <domainname>.webp (Watch My Domains SED will search for these images in the same order (jpg first, then png followed by webp). The scriptfile should take a single parameter (the domain name as the input).
