Command line option for restorepkg to restore to a specified (different) username
As a Server Administrator, I want a command line option for restorepkg to restore to a specified (different) username, so that I can restore a backup to a new username.
This is a feature request for a command line option for restorepkg to restore to a specified (different) username when doing migrations to a cpanel server.
The copy multiple accounts page in the control panel lets you change the username if there is a a username conflict however if a site is too big or there are problems with copy multiple accounts there is currently no way to resolve username conflicts using pkgacct and restorepkg.
This is a feature that has been migrated over from the cPanel Forums. All previous comments and discussions concerning this feature can be located at:
I like this idea 
cPanel, WebHost Manager and WHM are registered trademarks of cPanel, L.L.C. for providing its computer software that facilitates the management and configuration of Internet web servers.
We will add a new parameter to scripts/restorepkg: --newuser. This accepts a username as an argument, which becomes the username of the account when restoration is complete.
This functionality is in cPanel & WHM 11.42.

Thanks for adding this functionality! Is it possible to add this to the cPanel documentation for /scripts/restorepkg too?
