Unsuspending Accounts Exceeding Bandwidth Limits

There is no direct option in WHM to unsuspend all accounts exceeding bandwidth limits simultaneously. Instead, you can achieve this by using the command line or a custom script. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Using Command Line

1. Access Your Server via SSH:
   • Use an SSH client (like PuTTY) to connect to your server.
   • Log in with your root credentials.
2. Run the Unsuspend Command:

    
   for user in $(whmapi1 listaccts | grep suspended | awk '{print $2}'); do
     whmapi1 unsuspendacct user=$user;
   done
    

Method 2: Using a Custom Script

1. Create a Shell Script:
   • Open a text editor and create a new file named unsuspend_accounts.sh.
   • Add the following script to the file:

      
     #!/bin/bash
     
     # Get a list of all accounts exceeding bandwidth limits
     accounts=$(whmapi1 listaccts | grep suspended | awk '{print $2}')
     
     # Loop through each account and unsuspend it
     for user in $accounts
     do
         echo "Unsuspending account: $user"
         whmapi1 unsuspendacct user=$user
     done
     
     echo "All accounts unsuspended."
      

2. Upload and Execute the Script:
   • Upload the unsuspend_accounts.sh script to your server.
   • Set the executable permission:

      
     chmod +x unsuspend_accounts.sh
      

   • Execute the script:

      
     ./unsuspend_accounts.sh
      

Alternative Method: Unsuspending Accounts Manually in WHM

If you prefer to unsuspend accounts manually, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Account Suspension Section:
   • In WHM, go to the Account Functions section.
   • Click on Manage Account Suspension.
2. Unsuspend Individual Accounts:
   • You will see a list of suspended accounts.
   • Click on the Unsuspend button next to each account that has exceeded its bandwidth limit.

Conclusion

Unsuspending accounts that have exceeded their bandwidth limits in WHM can be achieved through the command line, a custom script, or manually within the WHM interface. Using the command line or a script can save time if you have many accounts to unsuspend. Regularly monitor and manage bandwidth usage to prevent accounts from being suspended unexpectedly.
