  The "whostmgr2" is the binary that contains the necessary code for applying changes made to cpanel.config. Are you trying to update cpanel config and cpupdate files manually ? When we make changes in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config, /etc/cpupdate.conf etc, we execute "whostmgr2" tcommand to save the tweak settings. eg:- /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr2 --updatetweaksettings

  Hello, Please note that it's not a good idea to run that command manually. You can save most changes to /var/cpanel/cpanel.config by simply restarting cPanel after saving the file. Thank you.
