Get notified by email everytime someone logs in as root in WHM

Hi,

I already did this for ssh, where it emails me everytime someone logs in as root in ssh, but I wanted to know if there is a way to do the same thing for WHM? Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Derek

Not easily. You'd probably need to write something to monitor /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log and have it send out an email if root logs in. Not that straightforward unless you can find a script that does something similar already.

You could do like I do if you aren't afraid of modifying your WHM skin. Mine have a counter script at the bottom of the options frame, (the command file), that send me an email when it is called. It's set to show the count as a 1x1 pixel image so it isn't even seen.

Nifty way of doing it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.
