When utilizing CPanel, it’s important to note that there are limitations in place for inodes and file usage, and it’s essential to keep track of them. To assist with this process, we’ve taken the liberty of crafting an in-depth guide that walks you through the process of creating a plugin that counts your usage step-by-step. This will make it easier to audit and ensure you stay within the usage limits. If you require any assistance or have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!<\/p>\n

Step 1: Log in to WHM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using your server credentials, securely login to the Web Host Manager (WHM) interface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2: Navigate to the Account List<\/strong><\/p>\n

Access the ‘List Accounts’ section within WHM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3: Open the Desired cPanel Account<\/strong><\/p>\n

Select the specific cPanel account you wish to work with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4: Access File Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within the cPanel account, locate and enter the ‘File Manager’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5: Upload the Plugin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initiate the upload process by selecting the ‘Upload’ option and provide the designated .zip file as instructed given below<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 6: Access the Terminal or SSH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Option 1: Open the terminal within WHM or, alternatively<\/p>\n

Option 2: Establish an SSH connection as root using a tool like Putty.<\/p>\n

We are using Terminal within WHM<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 7: Navigate to Upload Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

Change the directory to the location where the file was uploaded:<\/p>\n

\n
cd \/home\/cpaneluser<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nStep 8: Move the File to the Plugin Directory<\/strong><\/p>\n
Place the file in the designated plugin directory:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
mv inodoes-usage-plugin \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/base\/frontend\/jupiter\/<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Step 9: Navigate to Plugin Directory<\/strong><\/p>\n
Change the directory to the plugin location:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
 cd \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/base\/frontend\/jupiter\/<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Step 10: Extract the Zip File<\/strong><\/p>\n
Unzip the uploaded file:<\/p>\n
\n
unzip inodes-usage-plugin<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Step 11: Install the Plugin<\/strong><\/p>\n
Execute the installation command:<\/p>\n
\n
\/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/install_plugin inodes-usage-plugin<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/p>\n
The script which is used in the plugin<\/h3>\n
#!\/bin\/bash\r\n\r\n# Function to calculate inode usage and format the output\r\ncalculate_inode_usage() {\r\nlocal current_dir=\"$1\"\r\nlocal user_dir=\"$(pwd)\"\r\nprintf \"%-45s %s\\n\" \"Directory\" \"Inode Count\"\r\necho \"-----------------------------------------|-------------------\"\r\nfind \"$current_dir\" -maxdepth 2 -type d | while read dir; do\r\ninode_count=$(find \"$dir\" -type f | wc -l)\r\ndir_name=${dir\/\/$user_dir\/} # Remove \/home\/user\/ from the path\r\nprintf \"%-45s %d\\n\" \"$dir_name\" \"$inode_count\"\r\necho \"-----------------------------------------|---------------------\"\r\ndone\r\n}\r\n\r\n# Get the current directory\r\ncurrent_directory=\"$(pwd)\"\r\n\r\n# Display inode usage for the current directory and its immediate subdirectories\r\ncalculate_inode_usage \"$current_directory\"<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
