Introduction
If you are unable to see the Terminal feature in WHM while logged in as the root user, it is likely due to this feature being disabled previously.
Procedure
If the Terminal was disabled you can check to see if this file exists on your server, /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
1). Login to SSH as the root user.
2). Confirm the file exists with this command.
# ls -lah /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
If it exists you will see output similar to the following:
[root@server ~]cPs# ls -lah /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 8 04:59 /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
If the file doesn't exist you will see output like this:
[root@server ~]cPs# ls -lah /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
/bin/ls: cannot access /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui: No such file or directory
3). To remove the file you can run the following.
# rm -fv /var/cpanel/disable_whm_terminal_ui
