    So another thread led me to /etc/domainusers, which is *almost* exactly what I need, except that it contains all the domains in use for each user.

    What I need is something I can grep from bash that will return a username *once* with its corresponding main domain.

    Or is there a way to query cPanel's setup somehow to return this from bash?

    Basically, if you have the username as $user and do
    Code:
    grep ': $user' /etc/userdomains
    , you get something like
    Code:
    example.com: username
    - which is perfect, except you get multiple domains if they have addon domains. I need something that will allow me to only get the primary domain associated with an account.

    Any ideas? :)

    There is much simpler way than using a complex sed and grep combination when there is already a file that has the data that you are looking for.

    /etc/userdomains contains list of all Addon and Subdomain. If you want just get a list of main account and its user, use trueuserdomains.

    # cat /etc/trueuserdomains
    This is the file that contains a list of the main domain and their respective usernames..

    Just to follow up with a few examples:
    Code:
    # whmapi1 listaccts search='^cptest$' searchtype=user|grep -oP '(?<=domain: ).+'
cptest.tld

# grep -oP "[^:]+(?=: cptest$)" /etc/trueuserdomains
cptest.tld
