Hello,

there are few mor added in the cpanel scripts, since the cpanek has changed all the internal structures that they were using. The most commonly used is ./convertmaildir since the mailing structure of exim that is provided by the cpanel has been changed completely.

Thank you.

Use cPanel Subdomain Creator to create subdomains on cPanel based hosting.

Input:

cPanel account username
cPanel account password
cPanel skin (see Determining your cPanel Theme/Skin for more info on how to determine cPanel skin)
list of subdomains to be created in the plain text file (if creating from file)
Parent domain (can create subdomains for different domains when creating from file)

Update program header with above settings and script is ready to use............
