Hello

You can find addon domain information in several locations. This includes:

/var/cpanel/users/$username
/var/cpanel/userdata/$username/
/etc/userdatadomains

If you are seeking to extract which domain names are addon domain names, then the "/etc/userdatadomains" file may be the best option. EX:

# grep addon /etc/userdatadomains

Thank you.

If you would like to strip this information down to the user's domains only without the output from the entire line (not to mention, if a subdomain has addon in it, then you'll get that if you don't refine the grep):

#grep "=addon" /etc/userdatadomains | awk {'print $1,$2'} | cut -d= -f1 | uniq -c | sort -n
      1 addon.com: myuser
      1 addon2.com: myuser

This represents two addon domains (addon.com and addon2.com owned by the user myuser).

Without the = portion, I was getting the following:

#grep "addon" /etc/userdatadomains | awk {'print $1,$2'} | cut -d= -f1 | uniq -c | sort -n
      1 addon.com: myuser
      1 addon.domain.com: myuser
      1 addon2.com: myuser

That's because addon.domain.com has addon in the name even though it's a subdomain. Unless you also want subdomains, you'd want to use "=addon" in the grep.

Next, if you simply want to count the addon domains for a user without listing the domain names individually:

#grep "=addon" /etc/userdatadomains | awk {'print $2'} | cut -d= -f1 | uniq -c | sort -n
      2 myuser

This outputs the count of the two addon domains that myuser owns.
