Scheduling Account Suspension

[arctabyte]

Hi,

 

Is there anyway to schedule account suspension? For example in a case when an account has reached it allocated disk space, we send an email notification that we will hold them for 2 days then we will suspend them if no action has been taken.

 

What is the best way to do this? Currently we are doing it manually, putting a reminder we should check again after 2 days.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

 

Not really the answer I'm looking for, since the automatic suspension module was triggered by overdue on payment.

What I am asking is how to set suspension after x days on an account, for example in my case: exceeded disk storage capacity.

It's quite simple. You should run a code like this via CRON

 

// Let's say that with this fanta-query you retreive disk usage and the ID of the product or service you have on WHMCS for clientdomain.net
$result = mysql_query("SELECT disk_usage, serviceid FROM table WHERE domain = 'clientdomain.net'");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

// If disk usage exceeds your limit - let's suppose that it's 1000 MB - then we run ModuleSuspend API Function
if($row["disk_usage"]>="1000 MB")
{

$posturl = "http://yourwhmcs.com/includes/api.php"; # Your WHMCS API URL
$username = "yourusername"; # Your WHMCS Admin
$password = "yourpassword"; # Your WHMCS Password

$postfields["username"] = $username;
$postfields["password"] = md5($password);
$postfields["action"] = "modulesuspend";
$postfields["accountid"] = $row["serviceid"]; # We are suspending the product/service with this particular ID
$postfields["suspendreason"] = "You are using ".$row["disk_usage"]." of 1000 MB!"; # If you want you can also specify a Suspend Reason

// Post data via CURL(); 
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $posturl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$data = explode(";",$data);
foreach ($data AS $temp) {
	$temp = explode("=",$temp);
	$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}

if ($results["result"]=="success") {
	# Result was OK!
} else {
	# An error occured
	echo "The following error occured: ".$results["message"];
}

}

 

I use it a lot to automatically terminate, suspend and unsuspend particular services and domains.
