Run command

[esje]

Hi there,

 

How can I get WHMCS to run a terminal command after someone has signed up for my service? I need to parse username/password, "createseedbox username password", I have looked at hooks and looking for someone to educate me on how to do this.

 

Thanks

If you are not currently using a provision module, you could create your own and in the CreateAccount function execute the command.

http://docs.whmcs.com/Provisioning_Module_Developer_Docs

 

e.g.

function modulename_CreateAccount($params) {
 exec('createseedbox '.escapeshellarg($params['username']) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($params['password']));
}

 

Or if you are using an existing provision module, then you would want to use the AfterModuleCreate hook.

http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:Products/Services#AfterModuleCreate

 

That would look something like this, but you may also want to add an if statement and only run this based on the module or product type.

function create_seedbox($vars) {
 exec('createseedbox '.escapeshellarg($vars['params']['username']) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($vars['params']['password']));
}

add_hook("AfterModuleCreate",1,"create_seedbox");
