Can I use WHM to mount tmpfs? Or use WHM to login to ssh?

[CrewXp]

I need to do these steps:

The following commands / file edits need to be done as root user (or using something like sudo). This fix will be temporarily until the next reboot.

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm

Now, to make sure this mount is done automatically at reboot edit the file /etc/fstab and add the line:

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Is there any way to do this via WHM? Maybe using the 'Format/Mount a new Hard Drive' option? WHM tells me all data is lost, so it scares me. I just want to mount the tmpfs location so a program I use can work.

I don't have root ssh access, but have regular root WHM access. When I purchased the server, I was given root WHM but not root. root login is disabled for security purposes. I tried creating a SSH key and using putty, but it says access denied. When I turn password auth off, it says putty couldn't find any available authentication methods.

Thanks.

You cannot do it from WHM. If you are not granted the SSH access, ask your host to do it for you.
