Guide to Standardized Hooks - RPM::Versions Functions

The RPM::Versions category creates hookable events for RPMs. cPanel & WHM ships with the preconfigured RPM::Versions hooks.

The /var/cpanel/legacy_hooks touch file determines whether the system has already created the following hooks. To prevent the creation of these preconfigured hooks, touch the file before you install cPanel & WHM.

RPM

RPM::Versions events use the RPM naming format, where RPM is the name of the RPM to associate with the hook.

  • Blocking attribute: Available.
  • Escalate privileges attribute: Available.

Available stages
