Transferring all your cpanel accounts using shell.

First we need to create all accounts backup on your current server, execute following command

cat /var/cpanel/users | while read line; do
/scripts/pkgacct $line
done

All accounts are backuped up under /home, now transfer all accounts backup to your new server using SCP command line.

scp cpmove-* root@new-server-ip:/home

Now to resoter the accounts.

To restore all accounts, put all the users in the file named users on the new server /home

cat /home/users | while read line; do
/scripts/restorepkg $line
done
