    Hello.

    start_background_pkgacct backup an user account and returns an session ID. I can run this API and the backup finished successfully. The backup file is created and stored where I expect.

    But I'm not able to check when pkgacct finished using any API function. I need to check this remotely through API.

    Finally, API documentation says:
    -----
    The target system streams the output of this function with the/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/live_tail_log.cgi script on the source system.
    -----

    But I couldn't find any documentation about what parameters to use with live_tail_log.cgi to pass the backup session ID and read the live state.

    Any suggestion?

    Hello :)

    There are no WHM API 1 functions available that allow you to view the status of the backup generation, or to check the live status of the backup generation, other than what's documented at:

    Guide to Standardized Hooks - PkgAcct Functions - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

    Feel free to open a feature request for what you are seeking via:

    Submit A Feature Request

    Note: While investigating this issue, I noticed an incorrect path on the following document:

    WHM API 1 Functions - start_background_pkgacct - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

    It states:

    I've opened a case with our documentation team to correct this, as the actual path is "pkgacct_sessions" as opposed to "pkg_sessions".

    Thank you.
