I finally got round to updating MySQL on my virtual server from 5.0 to 5.5 so I thought that I would upgrade WHM & cPanel to the latest version. However this appears to be stuck at 51% with the log entry [20131101.154454] Processing: Purging old comet files [20131101.154454] - Processing command `/usr/local/cpanel/bin/purge_dead_comet_files --quiet` I left it for a few hours & then rebooted & tried upgrading again but again it gets stuck at the same point. It's obviously partially upgraded because it now has WHM 11.40.0 (build 16) on the top line Is there something that I can do from SSH to update it manually?

  Hello :) Check to see how large the comet directory on your system is. EX: du -sh /root/.cpanel/comet
  It may be taking a while to complete this process if there are a large number of comet files. Thank you.

  Just to update. I left it overnight & it eventually completed successfully. There were obviously a very large number of comet files.
