Configure Background Process Killer from Command line

[Amirhossein Matini]

Hello,

I wanted t know if there is a way to configure and enable and configure Background Process Killer from command line.

The following documentation does not provide any info about where is the config file being stored and how to edit that using command line.

Thanks.

I've used:

cat >/var/cpanel/killproc.conf <<EOF
BitchX
bnc
eggdrop
generic-sniffers
guardservices
ircd
psyBNC
ptlink
services
EOF

Although I suspect that you have to restart cPanel after doing this.

I wish stuff like this was published some where. I know I try to avoid logging into the WHM as much as possible and do as much as I can from the shell. It's quicker that way.

While not listed in the documentation @sparek-3 is correct as long as the Background Process Killer is enabled in the UI you should have the killproc.conf file present. The processes that can be killed by this are listed in the documentation though Background Process Killer - Version 74 Documentation - cPanel Documentation


Thanks!
