Search and replace script.

Basically, an advanced bash search adn replace program would be great. Ask for a search string, and for a replacement string, or to delete the string or to delete the line that contains that string.

Ability to recursively search is a must. Like

/home/*/.spamassassin/user_prefs

That kind of thing would be tremendous.

Thanks for the things that you do!

A script that searches for hidden files and directories alerting when new ones are found.

Have it know about normal hidden files, This script below (which we find is a pretty good start) could be the basis.


#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find / -name ".*" -print -xdev |grep -v .htaccess |grep -v .neomail |grep -v .bash_profile|grep -v .spamassassin|grep -v .e
xists|grep -v .csvignore (cat <<EOF
This is an automated report of possible existent hidden files on the server
SERVERNAME, generated by the find utility command.

New detected HIDDEN files under the / directory include:
EOF
cat
) | /bin/mail -s "Content of hidden file audit report" mail@domain.com

That scripts is a really good start, though I would like to see the ability to delete any line that conatins the specified text and to simply delete the specified text.

Maybe i'm not understanding what you want but whats wrong with the bash command replace?

replace oldtext newtext -- files

example: replace 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 -- *

I checked the man page for replace, and I did not see a switch for deleting lines containing a particular text.

Also, the ability to search on key cpanel info would be nice too. I know we could do that with ensim, but not sure if that info is available to bash.

In any case, if it is not interesting, then disregard... Was just a suggestion!

How about a script to increment all serial numbers by one after mass dns changes have been made?

I checked the man page for replace, and I did not see a switch for deleting lines containing a particular text

replace 'remove this line' '' -- *

Hey Shaun;

How about a script that does the log stats for cPanel's access_log in /usr/local/cpanel/logs?

sort of a

for i in /var/cpanel/users do ' grep $i /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log >/home/$i/tmp/cp_access

Or some such.

dgbaker: your looking for a script to verify that no old logs for terminated users exist?

cPanel.net Support Ticket Number:

Nope, looking to be able to track for each cpanel login id listed in the cpanel access_log to history of from where, when, etc..

Ideally to be able to give webalizer stats or such on cpanel access.

David may not be, but I sure am!

I have found, depending if Reseller or Hosting account, files similar to below get left behind and must be manually removed.

/etc/proftpd/xxx_logs

/usr/local/frontpage/www.xx.com:80.cnf
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/ftp.xxx-ftp_log.offset
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/ftp.xxx-ftp_log.offsetftpbytes

/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xxx-all.rrd
/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xx-http.rrd
/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xxx-ftp.rrd
/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xxx-pop3.rrd
/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xxx-smtp.rrd
/var/cpanel/bandwidth/xxx
/var/cpanel/packages/xxx
/var/cpanel/dips/xxx
/var/cpanel/mainips/xxx
/var/cpanel/suspended/xxx
/var/cpanel/xxx.accts

Although an eMail outlining this has not been sent to DarkOrb, it's mostly because I don't have very cancellations -- so to me, it's not that big of a deal. Down the road it may be handy as more Servers are being aquired and, others may appreciate it now.

I noticed your script to restrict bandadmin. Can you tell me what people are typing on my server to view it without being authenticated?

Are they using something like:

http://mydomain.com/bandadmin/stat?

How does that work?

I'll use your script to fix it but i'm curious as to what people are doing to see my bandadmin

Yeah,

here's one.

I am trying to isolate upload traffic (including php/web scripting) for each account on Cpanel (NOT by IP, but by account)

I have had three people sell me half baked attempts that don't work - if you can help out it would be greatly appreciated
