    Is there a way to modify the userdata file for a domain using the CustomEventHandler? I am trying to update the file after I add an addon domain. I tried calling Cpanel::Config::userdata::update_domain_datafield directly but I get permission denied since it is running as the cpanel user.

    Well, you have a few different options here.

    This code does require escalated privileges so you can use the AdminBin/AdminRun system to execute whatever you want.

    You can also use the function hooks system to do this - these are already executed as root, but do not offer quite as much flexibilty as the CustomEventHandler system.

    There is another option, bring it up with me tomorrow.

    The function hooks look like they would work for what I am doing. Does it need to be all lower case or does the case need to be set? Right now, I just am trying to touch a file in /tmp/ when I add an addon domain. It looks like it is seeing the file and I don't have any errors in the error_log but do not see the file being touched.

    Hi sirdopes,

    It may sound silly, but your hook script does have the executable bit set, right?

    Regards,
