-------**************--------

echo "1. httpd"
echo "2. exim"
read -p "Enter Service to restart" n
if [ $n -eq 1 ]; then
        /scripts/restartsrv httpd

sshd fail

** If you have changed the shell default Port 22 on a cPanel powered server , restarting sshd from the WHM will fail. You have to ssh to the server and issue the following command to restart sshd…

    * /sbin/service sshd restart

** To, temporarily, reset your shell port back to 22, run the following command from the Address field in browser:

      SERVER_MAIN_IP:2087/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart

Now, you should be able to access shell, and you need to restart sshd at the prompt using the command mentioned above
