How to mass terminate accounts??

[Juliet]

Hi, i need to terminate every single domain on my coanel dedicated server. I have 600 domains on it so it would take waaaay to long to delete each account manually.

I tried searching but came up with nothing... does anyone know the best way i can delete every single account on my server. I need to delete all of them a.s.a.p
Maybe do it via SSH somehow?

Thanks

Use the Accounting functions put all the accounts usernames in a array then for each value in the array make it termanate it.

If you get what I mean....

Hope this helps....

To easily mass termanate accounts you should use either the Perl Account Module or the PHP Module and get a list of all the accounts, put them in an array and write a script to delete them all.

Hi-
Another quick way of terminating many accounts is with /scripts/killacct <username> y (assuming that you also want to remove that user's named entries, otherwise replace the y with an n)
You can write a perl or shell script that goes through and runs that command for each user you want to delete.
Maybe something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
@userstodie = ('joe', 'bob', 'jim');
foreach $user (@userstodie) {
`/scripts/killacct $user y`;
}
A slightly more complicated program could look in the cpanel users files and delete all the users. Hint, there's a file for every cpanel user in: /var/cpanel/users, a simple opendir() would go a long way.

Good Luck,

what about deleting accounts that have 0.0 MB disk/ 0.0 MB bandwidth. like a script that goes through bandwidth usage and deletes account that have no bandwidth usage>..

Unless you're offering free hosting, then why on earth would you want to do that? The number of times we have to run ./scripts/fixquotas etc, you may find the script deleting accounts you didn't want it to.
