what is the script to rename an account?

[tom11011]

I know an account can be renamed by using the modify account function from the browser, but what script does it call to do this?

well, you can do a strace on the PID of 'cpsrvd' process while changing the username using the "Modify an Account" option. The strace will display a huge output which will give you the cPanel script it calls.

Find out the PID of the 'cpsrvd' process using

ps -auxf | grep cpsrvd

using the PID from the 2nd column, you can do a strace on it

strace -fFv -p PID

and then edit an account using the "Modify an Account" option. You will see a lot of output through which you have to search the script it called.

BTW, you can try execute strace in a different manner as well, like

strace -fFv -p PID | grep /scripts

See if it helps...
