How do I restart IC when it is installed under cpanel
if I don't have access to the admin interface?

Background: I ssh[ed] into the ISP's box and copied my variable.txt file
over from my home development machine (among other things) but forgot to
change the paths to match those on the server.  After a "Apply Changes"
I can't get access to the admin interface to "Apply Changes" after I
updated the variable.txt file for the correct paths.  I [bash-$ find /
-iname
*interchange* ] on the ISP machine but cannot find the
"/usr/sbin/interchange" file (maybe they don't want me to  have access
to it ;-\ so I can restart it and affect the changes.  As a side note,
how would I change the UI/admin pages under cpanel, I can't find em'
either? 

Mucho gratis

I've recently been down this path under cpanel and I found that the
quickest and easiest way is to copy your files to another directory the
reinstall IC from scratch (this will give you back your admin) and then
"carefully" move files back.

By carefully I mean check all your file permissions and ownership rights
(on the new install) both before and after the copy, then test, and
retest. (This I found to be the most important aspect and I had to learn
it the hard way).

For some reason when you change the path variables in variable.txt under
cpanel it propagates somewhere else and just fixing variable.txt (even
with a restart) doesn't fix the errors. I couldn't find out where and I
was working on a live site so to me time was the most important factor.

Sorry I can't give you a magic fix - someone else may be able to.
