Check maintenance and resolve busy or interrupted work

Before you start

You need Root access in WHM and root SSH access.

Steps

1. Check current work in WHM.

   Scan shows any running scan; Detections & cleanup shows any cleanup job. Use Refresh status if the status is unknown.

2. Check the timer.

   The maintenance timer should be active.

   systemctl status zamfoo-malware-maintenance.timer

3. Read recent errors.

   Look for repeated errors in the service log.

   journalctl -u zamfoo-malware-maintenance.service -n 50 --no-pager

4. Repair the timer if missing.

   Reinstall the timer.

   bash /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/zamfoo_malware/deployment/install-timer.sh

5. Resume or cancel interrupted work.

   In Detections & cleanup, choose Resume or Cancel on an interrupted job after fixing the cause.

What you should see

The timer is active and work continues or reaches a clear end state.

If something goes wrong

Only one scan or cleanup runs at a time. A queued cleanup whose worker has been gone for more than two minutes is reported as interrupted. Reading status never starts or resumes work.
