Useful cPanel scripts

This article covers some useful scripts built into cPanel!

cPanel Update

/scripts/upcp 

This script will check for any discrepancies between your current cPanel installation and the most recent update. After running the script, this should fix any issues with any corrupt or missing cPanel installation files, and can resolve a wide variety of issues that you may encounter in cPanel. Keep in mind, that this script can take a while to run, so you will likely want to only run a cPanel update during off-peak hours. cPanel updates generally run automatically around midnight. You can also 'force' and upcp, which will do a clean update of cpanel:

/scripts/upcp --force

Packaging and Restoring Accounts

cPanel has a script to package accounts into a .tar.gz file if you ever want to easily create a manual backup for one of your account, from your home directory simply run:

/scripts/pkgacct [USER]

If you wish to restore an account, you can use the following script:

/scripts/restorepkg [USER]

This will grab a backup for the user from the home directory, however, there may be times where  you need to define a specific backup you wish to restore from, you can do this by putting the file path to the backup after the user name:

/scripts/restorepkg [USER] /path/to/backup.tar.gz

Statistics and Quotas

This script will run statistics for all accounts on the server if you wish to have them updated immediately:

/scripts/runstatsonce

This script can take a while to run, so you will likely want to only run during off-peak hours.

If you want to run stats for a single user, you can run the following:

/scripts/runweblogs [USER]

And finally, if you are seeing any issues or discrepancies with quotas or statistics, this script can resolve some issues:

/scripts/fixquotas

Once again, this script can take a while to run, so you will likely want to only run during off-peak hours.
