Cpanel 11.24 comes with an Autofixer that allows you to fix common problems that may prevent access to certain parts of your system. The autofixer can be envoked two ways:

/scripts/autorepair <script name>

or in WHM:

https://example.com:2087/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=test
https://your.server.ip.here:2087/scripts2/autofixer (and enter the name of the script)

The script argument would be the name of the script you are running through the autofixer. You can find a list of autofixer scripts here:

http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/autofixer/

So for instance, if you wanted to repair a broken SSH configuration and you can’t access SSH on your server, there is a script called ‘safesshrestart‘ in the autofixer repository that you can run:

https://example.com:2087/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart

Alternatively, you can pass the script through /scripts/autorepair.
