Overview

The /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_users_my_cnf script checks cPanel accounts for any invalid ~/.my.cnf files and renames them. This lets you view any settings in the invalid files that you may want to copy to new files. By default, the script checks all cPanel accounts. The script only returns output when it detects an invalid file.

Run the script
