Terminal

The root Terminal opens an authenticated server command session for administrators who genuinely need shell-level work.

Where to find it: Open the Server menu and choose Terminal. Conditional items appear only when their service is installed and available.

Available to: Root only.

What this page does

Use Terminal for provider operations in the server scope. Read the current state first because actions here may affect several accounts or shared services.

Before you start

Terminal access bypasses many form-level safeguards. Use the narrowest command that solves the problem, keep a recovery path, and do not turn an account task into an accidental server task.

Why use it — and when not to

Use Terminal for the resource described on this page. Choose a narrower account or reseller page whenever the task does not need server-wide authority.

How to use it

1. Open Terminal in the correct role and confirm the selected target.
2. Review the current values before editing them.
3. Change only the fields required for the task and read any confirmation carefully.
4. Wait for a final result, then test the affected service or resource.

Result and next check

A successful action updates the selected SHM resource and returns a final status. Read that status and verify the resulting service before treating the work as complete.
