[s_2_s]

hi all

[s_2_s]

asking mr google about how to read lines from files i could manage to do a script to read account user names from a file then backup each one and another script to restore them


script to backup accounts from a user list in file

#!/bin/sh
# Ilmade by s_2_s CPANEL FORUMS
cat userlist.txt | \
while read line
do
echo "Found user: $line"
/scripts/pkgacct $line
done

note that userlist.txt should look like this
user1
user2
user3
user4


now to restore the backups made from the above script put the tar.gz files under same dir and excute thjis shell script

#!/bin/sh
# Ilmade by s_2_s CPANEL FORUMS
cat userlist.txt | \
while read line
do
echo "Found user: $line"
echo "I'm restoring $line ... ... ..."
/scripts/restorepkg $line

done

how to make a list of users under one reseller ?

[DigitalN]

You could use the /var/cpanel/users/* files

something like

#!/bin/sh
reseller=root
for user in `/bin/ls /var/cpanel/users`
do
if [ "`/bin/grep 'OWNER=' /var/cpanel/users/$user | cut -d= -f2`" == "$reseller" ]; then
echo "$user" >> user_list
fi
done

Could be used for the user part.
