WHM - Bulk Account Creation with cPanel
Hello,
I've been manually creating accounts in my WHM installation by using the functionality that's native to the program (i.e. I click create account, type in a domain, username, password, and select a package) to create an account for that user that has it's own cPanel installation.
I'm wondering if there's a way (either through software, api, or script) to do this in bulk? Any guidance someone can give would be greatly appreciated. If the answer is via script or api, I would appreciate any general direction you could give about how I actually would go about using it. Thanks in advance!

You can't just write a script to do this by directly calling various command line utilities, because WHM/CPanel compile various config files into system files.
If you directly write files, then next time WHM/CPanel compiles it's config files, your changes will be lost.
Consult your specific version of WHM/CPanel to determine the correct way to accomplish this, as each update may change how this is accomplished.
I avoid WHM/CPanel like the plague + as I recall, last time I was forced to work on these abominations (my opinion), seems like there's a plugin mechanism, where you can create an icon inside WHM to perform macro like operations on a specific domain.
