CPanel Scripts
cPanel has a bunch of scripts in the /scripts folder.
For most of them, you can run: /scripts/script_name_here --help to see what the script does. (Except for upcp... --help is not available for it.)
Scripts
/scripts/whowns domain.com - Tells you which cPanel account owns the specified domain.
/scripts/upcp --force - Updates cPanel (use with caution)
/scripts/clear_orphaned_virtfs_mounts --clearall - Cleans the virtfs folders for users who no longer exist or who no longer use a jailed shell environment.
/scripts/fixquotas –force - Rebuilds disk quotas (helpful when something is showing incorrect usage.)
