/scripts documentation

[iso99]

Hi,

I can't find any documentation on the files on the /script folder. Can anyone kindly give me a link to the proper documentation for this?

Thank you

I am not sure on the actually documentation, but here is some:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fixvaliases -> this modifies permissions and ownership on /etc/valiases files

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/chownpublichtmls -> this chowns /home/username/public_html folders to the right permissions

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/eximup --> updates exim

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/buildnsdconf -> rebuilds /etc/named.conf file


You can thank Tristen for this!

This should be semi helpful I think:
WHM Scripts - cPanel Documentation

@Infopro - Just a quick question - when a script is no longer supported, how quickly is it removed from that list?

 

[Infopro]

If you wish, please open a ticket and ask Technical Support about that. I don't have a proper answer for you myself.

Short of that I would think someone who does know will post back here for you.

Overall, using /scripts aren't the method we suggest. The API is the primary means of working with cPanel and WHM on a server. If a script has capabilities within the API, the API is how we would recommend doing the task required. As such, any script could be removed, revised, deprecated or cease working for any cPanel update without notification. The /scripts aren't for user interaction but for the control panel system itself. Basically, this means you shouldn't really even be using most of them. The only exceptions I can think are those advised in our documentation for Apache rebuild, or the restart service scripts.
