hook not working

[atDev]

Whenever I try to run:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/manage_hooks add script /var/cpanel/MyApp/foo_describe.php

I get the error:

Hook not found.

The add action requires that a module or script name is specified example:
        bin/manage_hooks add Module My::Module

Options can also be manually specified using the following params --category, --event and --stage are defined, example:
        bin/manage_hooks add script /var/MyApp/hooks/something.pl --category=Whostmgr --event=Accounts::Create --stage=pre

See --help for more information

I'm following the docs directly, any ideas? The file does exist and I have created the appropriate describe code as well.

Hi atDev,

What output do you get when you run

/var/cpanel/MyApp/foo_describe.php --describe

foo_describe.php should print/echo a JSON structure. Does it?

I get:
Error in argument 1, char 3: option not found

File contents:

#!/usr/bin/php -q

<?php
$describe = array(
    array(
        'namespace' => 'Whostmgr',
        'function'  => 'Accounts::Create',
        'stage'     => 'post',
        'hook'      => '/var/cpanel/MyApp/foo_CreateInstance.php'
    )
);

if ( in_array('--describe', $argv) ) {
    print json_encode($describe);
    exit();
}
?>

Hm I had a tech look at it and they said:

I've had a look and the issue is that PHP does not parse shell
arguments the way you're attempting. The arguments apply to the PHP binary,
not to the PHP script itself. The error printing to screen is displaying the
only accepted flags to the PHP binary.

Wonder why it works for you an not on our server?

check you ini settings related to argv/argc

PHP: $argv - Manual
