The /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update-packages script is a command used in cPanel servers to update the installed packages and plugins on the server. It can be used to update cPanel itself, as well as any third-party plugins or add-ons that have been installed.
To run the update-packages script, you will need to log in to your server via SSH and run the following command:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update-packages
This will initiate the update process, which may take several minutes to complete. Once the update is finished, you will need to restart your server for the changes to take effect.
It is important to note that running the update-packages script will update all installed packages, including any customizations you have made to your server. If you have made any custom modifications to your server, you should make a backup before running this script to ensure that you can restore your server to its previous state if necessary.
If you are unsure how to run the update-packages script or how to make backups of your server, I recommend contacting your web hosting provider for assistance. They will be able to provide more detailed instructions and help you safely update your server's packages.
