On my occasions you may have detected that users are running unwanted or malicious application on servers that they have not run at all.<\/p>\n

To prevent users from running such applications that are against your service policy you can configure WHM to kill background processes that initiated by users on the dedicated servers.<\/p>\n

If any of the users is running such a process then WHM can automatically find it and kill the process though the process is renamed and send you an email regarding the same.<\/p>\n

Follow the given steps to configure WHM:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Login to WHM as root user.<\/h3>\n

2. Go the System Health option (See\u00a0 below)<\/h3>\n

3. Select the Background process Killer option<\/h3>\n

Here, you can check all the listed programs. WHM suggest that it is better to select all of these since many of them are related IRC (Internet Relay Chat) which often leads to DDoS attacks.<\/h3>\n

4. If you want to add exceptions then you can add those in the box one per line. By default WHM ignores root, mysql, named, cpanel, and users with UIDs below 99 and need not be added to the exceptions again.<\/h3>\n

5. When you are done adding you can click on SAVE to configure the task in WHM. Here you\u2019ll get a notification of the process.<\/h3>\n

These process is now setup. in these way you can configured WHM to kill unwanted background processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
