cPanel update hanging
A client of mine's server ran out of space a couple of months ago. They cleared out the offending backups, but since then the backups are failing to complete. They get this far, and then hang until the process is killed:
It's been the same thing in all of the log files for the past 2 months. I just killed the process that was running tonight, and ran:
but no difference, still hanging at the exact same spot. Any idea why, or what I can do to further debug the issue? Thanks. -Michael

Further testing: I noticed that /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/maintenance was also something that failed when the disk was full, so I just tried running that manually to see if it might fix some issues. That is also hanging when it gets to the point of "updatesigningkey": [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/maintenance [2017-04-18 00:45:09 -0500] Purging cpupdate.conf of invalid entries [2017-04-18 00:45:09 -0500] Purging upcp logs older than 45 days.

Note that this did cause all of the log files in /var/cpanel/updatelogs to be deleted, even the ones not older than 45 days, but aside from that it just appears to be sitting there. Edit: I am also attempting to run "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix", but this as well appears to just be hanging and not doing anything. -Michael0 -
Update: I noticed that the last server restart was from before the crash in Feb, so I restarted the server. I was then able to run the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/maintenance script, and now "upcp --force" appears to be running fine. -Michael 0 -

Hello, I'm happy to see the issue is now addressed. It seems like there may have been some hanging processes that needed to be killed (the restart would have killed any hanging processes). Thank you for updating us with the outcome.0
