FRIGGIN Plesk ....

Can someone tell me how to shut off these damned annoying cron emails from my server? It's like fishing for Perch!, Everytime I open my email, there's another 50 of these little buggers plugging everything up.

ERROR: Dr.Web (R) Updater: Unable to connect to update.us.drweb.com: Connection timed out !
Dr.Web (R) update details:
Update server: http://update.us1.drweb.com/unix/500
Update has begun at Wed Mar 20 21:00:02 2013
Update has finished at Wed Mar 20 21:01:10 2013

Following files has been updated:
/var/drweb/bases/drwtoday.vdb
/var/drweb/bases/dwntoday.vdb
/var/drweb/bases/dwrtoday.vdb
/var/drweb/updates/timestamp

Are they cron errors or are they completed cron jobs without error ?  Are they all coming from the same cron job or many ?

Guess your not the only one annoyed by it. Google says others hate it too.

Basically you edit the cron job and pipe the output to dev null

Would need to know the exact contents of those emails to know if they're an error or update cron.  Either way, I recommend having system emails sent to a dedicated email address to avoid a filled inbox.

Dr. Web always seems to be the most annoying thing about Plesk.

in ssh you can try and edit this file to stop notifacation from drweb:

/etc/drweb/drweb32.ini

CronSummary = yes    

Change it to no and save the file.  

Wait 30 minutes or so and check your email again. 

Not sure what OS you are running so file name and location may be different.     find -name drweb32.ini  may help if not found in /etc

I had PLESK for two days before I had the server pulled and the OS reloaded.

Just curious... why do you have drweb installed in the first place?

 To give pills for virus infections lmao

 RE:

 I was asking SF

I am betting he did not install it or even know it was installed.

 Sorry sir, i didn't noticed that.

LOL, all of you. I have Plesk because I'm a cheap old bastard. Would rather bitch and complain than purchase something that actually works....

 Using VI, here's the output from that file. Do not see cronsummary

What amazes me is the files you listed above are hidden from my view. In SSH, I cannot browse them in the file structure but I can navigate to them and open them using the editor. I cannot change them however....

and you ssh'ed in as the root user ?

I'm an idiot. I need to learn how to scroll in this stupid SSH java terminal... THEN I needed to learn a few commands in vi (never used it before). I found CronSummary and made the change. Now it's just wait and see time...

FARCKIN GEEKY CRAP! It didn't save. I was NOT logged in as root. Doing it all over again, LOLOL!

lol  at least i got a smile today... 

Ok, friikin sumbiotch. finally found the file again. Have made the necessary change. Gonna go to lunch now, no longer care if fix works.

I hate vi. I usually always install the joe editor. But as of CentOS 6 it's no longer in the yum repository. Sucks because now i have to manually hunt for the rpm.

And i don't use plesk. Minimal server install is the way to go. No extra garbage installed that you are not aware of. But you have to do things by hand tho.

Still getting one from the /opt/drweb/update

Went into /etc/cron.d/ and edited the drweb-update file

*/30 * * * * drweb /opt/drweb/update.pl

and changed it to:

*/30 * * * * drweb /opt/drweb/update.pl > /dev/null 2>&1

Now we'll see if that stops them once and for all....

One is better then 50 i guess...  not bad seems you are on to it now.

 Learning to do it might be the way to go. I don;t have those skills right now but I think I could pick them up pretty easily. After all, I did start way back in the early DOS era and was pretty proficient at it. Should be like riding a bike, kinda. lol

 Yeah, your post got me goin in the right direction, thanks....

LOL. Now I get an email that's titled

Cron <drweb@dragon356> /opt/drweb/update.pl > /drweb/null 2>&1

Me thinks there's a space where there shouldn't be -- eb/update.pl right here >

sort of my fault...  i forgot to mention you need to restart the drweb service or restart the server altogether after editing drweb.ini file.  Also the cron can store up to 7 days worth of email in the que so it may take a while.... 

All the other ones have stopped. This one is being a bugger though...

Subject Title: Cron <drweb@dragon356> /opt/drweb/update.pl> /drweb/null 2>&1

Content: /bin/sh: /drweb/null: No such file or directory

If you're trying to shut the cron up, use /dev/null.

I'm looking at it and I finally see it...

Cron <drweb@dragon356> /opt/drweb/update.pl> /drweb/null 2>&1

drweb should be dev, lol.

changed the line to read

<drweb@dragon356> /opt/drweb/update.pl 2>&1> /dev/null

 Dang it! I found it before you said anything, I swear!
