CPanel Scripts
cPanel has a bunch of scripts in the /scripts
folder.
For most of them, you can run: /scripts/script_name_here --help
to see what the script does. (Except for upcp... --help is not available for it.)
Scripts
/scripts/whowns domain.com
- Tells you which cPanel account owns the specified domain.
/scripts/upcp --force
- Updates cPanel (use with caution)
/scripts/pkgacct user
- backs up the entire specified cPanel account, including databases, e-mail, settings, etc. Replace "user" with the cPanel username to backup.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
- Checks All SSL certificates.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/autossl_check --user $usernamehere
- force Auto-SSL to check a specific account
/scripts/clear_orphaned_virtfs_mounts --clearall
- Cleans the virtfs folders for users who no longer exist or who no longer use a jailed shell environment.
Backup:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force
- force a manual backup
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/cpbackup
- run a legacy backup
Mail sizes showing incorrectly? Try this:
/scripts/generate_maildirsize --confirm --allaccounts --verbose $USER
Check RPMs and possibly re-install:
/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms
Database Grants
Weird database permission/authentication issues? Try restoring the database grants:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/restoregrants --cpuser=$cpuser --db=mysql --all
