Overview
Use the /etc/cpanelsync.exclude file to prevent updates to cPanel-distributed files. This method causes fewer problems than other methods of update prevention (for example, the use of the immutable state).
Notes:
- This method only prevents an update from the
cpanelsyncutility. It does not prevent updates that occur at application runtime. - You cannot use the
cpanelsync.excludefile to prevent modifications to configuration files, datastores, or similar types of files. - You cannot block updates to RPM-managed files within the
/etc/cpanelsync.excludeand/etc/cpanelsync.no_chmodfiles.- For more information about custom cPanel RPMs, read our How to Build and Install Custom RPMs documentation.
To determine whether an RPM manages a particular file, run the following command:
rpm -qf /path/to/file
Entries
Each entry in the /etc/cpanelsync.exclude file must use an absolute path, with each path on its own line.
For example, you may wish to prevent an update to the following files:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Logd.pm
Use the following commands to add the files' path to the /etc/cpanelsync.exclude file:
echo "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct" >> /etc/cpanelsync.exclude echo "/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Logd.pm" >> /etc/cpanelsync.exclude
