Question

How do I disable cPHulk from the command line?

Answer

Working with cPHulk on the command line is helpful if you have been locked out of the WHM or cPanel interfaces. You will need to access the server through SSH as the "root" user and run the following commands to disable the service and stop the active processes:

whmapi1 configureservice service=cphulkd enabled=0 monitored=0

/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcphulkd

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cphulk_pam_ctl --disable
