SOLVED Changing cPanel Update Preferences from RELEASE to LTS using SSH

[MegaBytu]

On CentOS 7.9 and cPanel 110.0.7, it is safe and correct to change the cPanel Update Preferences from RELEASE to LTS from SSH by editing /etc/cpupdate.conf file, instead of using the Update Preferences interface from WHM interface?

Basically the change that I want to make is changing the CPANEL parameter to lts, at the first line in the file (file is printed below), and I am not sure if the Update Preferences interface from WHM interface just edits only this file in the background or is doing also some other changes to the system.

Also, the second question, this change will take effect automatically when the next Update will run, without the need for reboot or restart some services?

cat /etc/cpupdate.conf

CPANEL=lts
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily

Thank you.

Doing the change in WHM or modifying the file does exactly the same thing.

The change is immediate, no need to restart anything.
