Guide to Standardized Hooks - PkgAcct Functions

The PkgAcct category's events occur during backup creation.

Create

This event takes place when the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct script creates the cpmove archive.

Information

  • Action code runs as:
    • During transfers, the root user.
    • While the system generates backup files, the user who owns the backup.
  • Blocking attribute: Available.
  • Escalate privileges attribute: Unavailable.

Available stages

  • pre — Hook action code runs before the pkgacct script collects or writes data.
  • preFinalize – Hook action code runs before the system compresses or transfers the cpmove file.
  • postFinalize — Hook action code runs after the system compresses or transfers the cpmove file. This stage does not occur if the skiphomedir value is 1 .

pre returns
