Terminate a cPanel account from command line

Posted on: February 22, 2016

If you want to cancel account from the command line instead of via the WHM, you can do so with one of the following commands.

 

Pre CentOS 7:
/scripts/killacct

CentOS7:
/scripts/removeacct

 

Both scripts use the same syntax:

/scripts/removeacct --user=username [options]

OPTIONS

–force
Bypass the confirmation step in the script and immediately terminate the account.
Example: /scripts/removeacct --user=username --force

–keepdns
Retain the account’s zone files from the DNS server when the script terminates the account.
Example: /scripts/removeacct --user=username --keepdns
