get owner username from command line using domain name

craigedmonds
Is there a way for me to type a domain/subdomain/addon domain/parked domain in ssh and it tells me the username of the account it belongs to? For example, if I typed this.. # /root/querydomain.sh some_add_on_domain-com
It would return something like this... # owner username for some_add_on_domain-com is: joebloggs
Then I would be able to make another query which allows me to make changes to /home/joebloogs The issue I have is that I have a really nice bash script for something else, but I have to know the username first before I can execute it and the only ay to do it is to open WHM " Home "Account Information "List Subdomains ,t hen do CTRL + F to find the domain and see who owns it. So would make my life easier if I could just type the domain name in the script and then execute what I need.

    You could just do a locate domain.com which would give you a few locations one of which would be /home/username/domain.com locate domain.com

    How about: [QUOTE] grep "somedomain.com" /var/cpanel/users/*

    Even simpler : /scripts/whoowns yourdomain.com

    I wonder if there is a complete list of those scripts, this obviously is not: [url=http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/WHMDocs/WHMScripts]WHM Scripts

    "cat /etc/domainusers|grep domain.com" should work.

    Hello :) Yes, the following script should work for you: /scripts/whoowns $domain
    You could also search for the domain name in the /etc/userdomains file. EX: grep $domain /etc/userdomains
    Thank you.
