Where to execute script after cPanel update of Roundcube?

Whenever cPanel updates Roundcube, it overwrites the config.inc.php file for Roundcube which has several default values that I have customized, so they are set back to default values every time this happens. I have created a bash script that replaces specific lines in config.inc.php with customizations that I want to retain after an update. Without needlessly executing this script from a cron job every day (even though it only takes a second to run), is there a place I can add my script so that it will be executed only *after* cPanel updates Roundcube, in order to immediately replace the proper lines in the newly-installed default config file? Thanks!

  Hey @swbrains ! As I understand, you're wanting to customize the RoundCube configuration without upcp overwriting its contents. If you're running on cPanel v11.46 through v56 there are a couple of files that you can apply these changes to where upcp will ignore. For additional guidance on this, you can refer to our below documentation: How to Build and Install Custom RPMs

  Building and installing a custom RPM seems like a pretty complicated process just to ensure some commands are run after a cPanel update. If there's no alternative, I'll just create some type of cron job to do it every day a few hours after upcp is run. It would be nice to see an easier method to "hook" into the upcp process by having cPanel launch a script after upcp completes that can be edited by an administrator.
