Using CPanel/WHM API to get detail list of all accounts on server

No Comments »

 

Today I had this need to get a list of WHM Accounts using one of its APIs. I have never used it before but it was really simple to use. It returns an xml file that you can manipulate using your prefered language and store it in database for reporting etc.

Here is what you need to do, connect to your server using SSH and run the following command

wget http://your-server-ip:2086/xml-api/listaccts --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypass --output-document=listaccts.xml

Replace your-server-ip with your WHM’s ip and myuser/mypass with the actual WHM/CPanel password. The resultant xml file will be saved as “listaccts.xml” in the same directory as you ran the command in.

If you feel a bit insecure running these command over SSH or don’t have shell access to the server then visit this page on your browser and save it as an xml file.

http://your-server-ip:2086/xml-api/listaccts

(again, substitute your-server-ip with the actual WHM ip address, substitute HTTP with HTTPS and port to 2087 for HTTPS if enabled on your server / FQDN)

Enjoy!

Facebook Activity Log – How to

No Comments »

 
Recently I lost when I was unable to delete some post from my timeline and then I found that our activity log on our timeline serves many purposes.

You can use it to quickly hide old statuses you have made in the past, or delete them, you can also use it to Unhide statuses that you had previously hidden.
In addition, it shows you comments that you have made on other peoples’ stories/statuses/pictures and will allow you to delete those too, all in one convenient place.

To get there, go to your Timeline, and click on Activity Log.

That will open the activity log, and then you can scroll down to where that story is (or use the date links at the bottom) to find the post/story you want to hide or unhide. Look at the icons in the far right to see which ones are hidden and which ones are visible.

You can then click on the little circle/crossed out circle to select if you want it hidden or not.

If you “Feature” a story, it will take the full width of your timeline, so as to draw attention to that item. Think of it like “this one is important”.
