You will learn how to make use of the Background Process Killer in WHM in this article. With Background Process Killer, you may tell WHM to search for processes that users should not be running daily in a typical Web Hosting setup.

Important note- Users with UIDs lower than 99, Root, MySQL, named, cPanel, and users that are already trusted do not need to be added to this list.

Let us follow the steps:

  1. Log in to WHM.
  2. Choose the “System Health” option and click on the “Background Process Killer” sub-option.

  3. Choose the procedures. Check all of the programmes’ names twice if you do not want them to run on your server because permitting users to run IRC bots and servers usually leads to denial-of-service attacks.
