How to get a list of total cPanel users under a specific re-seller via command line – WHM/cPanel server

Do you wish to list all cPanel accounts under a specific reseller?

If so, it’s very simple to list all cPanel users’ name via command line interface (CLI). There is a file ‘/etc/trueuserowners‘ in your WHM server which has all cPanel username and it’s owner’s name details. We can simply grep out our requirement from this file 🙂

File which has user:owner details is:

/etc/trueuserowners

List all users under a reseller account

Please do follow the steps pasted below to list out all cPanel accounts a particular reseller account:

Step 1 : SSH to server as root user.

Step 2 : You can use the grep and cut command to list all users’ name from /etc/trueuserowners file.

Syntax

# grep $Re-seller's-name /etc/trueuserowners | cut -d : -f 1

$Re-seller’s : replace it with the re-seller acount name

Example

# grep crybit /etc/trueuserowners | cut -d : -f 1
