I have spent countless hours scouring the internets looking for tips and tricks on doing the needful in cPanel. Everything I find tends to be, well wrong. I’ll back up and talk about what.. I’m talking.. about. Do it from the command line! WHM/cPanel are great in that they allow you to perform most of the server management tasks from a GUI. This makes Linux server administration(?) more assessable to people that wouldn’t normally get involved in it.
Fact of the matter is, it is faster to do anything from the command line. If you want to package an account for a backup you have to type `/scripts/pkgacct username` and it’s done. From inside the GUI you have, well do more. I don’t feel like typing out an instructional document on clicking your way through cPanel to get a backup made.
I am going to provide a bunch of tutorials that get the job done from beginning to end. I will also provide some nifty one liners so you can surf /b/ and not worry.
