Awesome FREE cPanel scripts!

The link above is an excellent resource for free cPanel/WHM scripts. I used to use a few of their shell scripts a while back but the other day I found they've converted them from shell scripts to WHM plugins (at least the ones I checked)! My favorite being the cleanbackups script!
By default, WHM does not remove backups when a cPanel account is terminated. This script will go through your backups and compare them to active accounts. If the account is not there then the backup is removed.
The WHM plugin lets you specify how long after the account is removed the backups are kept, whether to scan daily, weekly, and/or monthly backups, whether to run automatically after backups, and whether to automatically update the plugin. It also logs everything which is nice for those who set it to run automatically.
Simple install from SSH:
Code:
cd /home
rm -f latest-cleanbackups
wget http://www.ndchost.com/cpanel-whm/plugins/cleanbackups/download.php
sh latest-cleanbackups
