WHM/cPanel v11.36 in STABLE

cPanel v11.36 has now entered the STABLE tree and you will notice that most of your addon perl scripts failing. You can resolve this easily with our addons by reinstalling them. We have provided a simple script that can do this for you that we posted previously. This has to be done regardless as to whether you are running the latest versions:
This script will update: cmm, cmc, cmq, cse, csf, cxs, msinstall, msfe
Only those scripts that are already installed will be updated. Those that are updated are done so regardless as to whether they are the same or an older version of those available.
To use this method you must be logged into root via SSH to the server and then run:
curl -s configserver.com/free/csupdate | perl
You should take care to read through the output to ensure that all the upgrades have worked as expected.
