reclaimhosting / dooo-dashboard Goto Github PK

First find the username of the cPanel account that hosts their front-end WP site.

1. cd to plugins directory of the main DoOO WP site

cd /home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/plugins

1. Clone this git repo

git clone https://github.com/reclaimhosting/dooo-dashboard.git

1. Add it to cron to run daily

crontab -e

Add this line, replacing USERNAME with the username of the cPanel account that has the DoOO WP front-end

1 0 * * * /home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dooo-dashboard/copy_reports.sh > /tmp/copy_reports.cron 2>&1

4. Test your cron entry by copying the whole line, removing the leading timing info, and running the command:

/home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dooo-dashboard/copy_reports.sh > /tmp/copy_reports.cron 2>&1

Then activate the plugin in WP and make sure things are working.

Call the script with the other server names as arguments. Keypairs and ssh config will need to be set up for stuff to copy between servers properly. Usually this involves making sure a keypair is generated on the main server with the WP site where the cron job will run, other servers have the public key, and the ssh config on the main server has been updated.

Ex:

bash copy_reports.sh stateu2 stateu3 stateu4

or in the cron:

1 0 * * * /home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dooo-dashboard/copy_reports.sh stateu2 stateu3 stateu4 > /tmp/copy_reports.cron 2>&1
