Warning:
  • We removed this script in cPanel & WHM version 120. This script only exists in cPanel & WHM version 118 and earlier. For more information, read the Horde webmail interface section of our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.
  • Only the root user can run this script.

Run the script

To run this script on the command line, use the following format:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/export_horde_contacts_to_vcf [options]

Options

Use the following options with this script:

Option Description Example
--user Required
Export contacts for the cPanel user(s) you specify.
Note:
  • The script also exports the contacts of all email accounts under the cPanel user into separate files.
  • For multiple cPanel users, specify this option for each user.
 --user=cptest --user=cptest2
--out Specify a directory for the .vcf files.
Important:
  • If you do not use this option, the script only outputs the contact data to the screen.
