Anyone know what /tmp/watch-install-progress does?
Answered
CSF/LFD is complaining about this script as it's an executable. It appears to be related to cPanel stuff. But i have no idea why it's in /tmp or if that is by mistake or just not deleted. Anyone know it's purpose? Can I just delete it? Below are the contents of the script on a server running cPanel v122:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -x /var/cpanel/watch_install_progress ]; then
exec /var/cpanel/watch_install_progress
echo "Exec failed with $?, indicating a problem with the watch_install_progress program itself. Continuing with previous implementation."
fi

diag() {
# Send this to stderr so the caller can selectively filter out
# either log output or diagnostic output.
echo "[$0]" $* 1>&2
}
finished() {
if [ ! -z "$tail_pid" ]; then
kill $tail_pid
fi
diag "Done"
exit 0
}
trap finished SIGTERM SIGINT
for try in `seq 1 60`; do
if [ -f /var/log/cpanel-install.log ]; then
diag "Installer has started"
break
fi
diag "Waiting for installer to start ..."
sleep 2
done
export main_pid=$$
(
sleep 10
while ps auxww | grep -qs '[i]nstaller.*skiplicensecheck'; do
diag "Installer is still running; continue waiting ..."
sleep 5
done
diag "Installer appears to have finished"
kill $main_pid
) &
journalctl -n50 -af --output=cat --unit=cpinstall &
tail_pid=$!
wait

Hey there! Is this a new installation? Normally that gets removed after a successful install, but it may not have happened for some reason. I'm guessing you're also the other poster from today here?

You are free to delete that file from the system as it isn't used for anything after the initial install.

You are correct, i did post over there too. That person was the only other result I saw when I searched.
It was a fresh install in fall/winter of 2023. We were migrating accounts from centos 7 to almalinux 8. For whatever reason we we missing those notifications until recently and when I saw them i wasn't sure what to make of it so i figured I'd ask. I'll go ahead and delete that file then, thanks for confirming!
