Get Rid Softaculous Updates Cron Jobs
Hi !
I run vestacp in debian 9 Stretch with apache + nginx. I have disabled softaculous plugin because I have to purchase a license to be able to use it. But the updates cron jobs emails won't stop. I keep receiving it almost every day.
In the /etc/crontab I have added > /dev/null 2>&1 to the daily and weekly command line, but still not working
How to get rid this softaculous updates notification.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Get Rid Softaculous Updates Cron Jobs
Can you also write the CLI command to disable Softaculous? Would be easy for many who have hard time finding it in the WebUI.imperio wrote:Hi,

Re: Get Rid Softaculous Updates Cron Jobs
Hi imperio,
I have run the command line
but nothing changed. Still got the update notification everyday.
The email title: Software Updates (my.vestacp.tld)
I have run the command line
Code: Select all
/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-delete-vesta-softaculous
The email title: Software Updates (my.vestacp.tld)
The following software were updated during Automatic Cron Updates:
WordPress 4.9.4 - Failed
You are using the free version of Softaculous which has limited number of scripts. Purchase premium version of Softaculous to activate all scripts: .. blah..blah..blah...

I think there is already a thread to completely remove softaculous completely.
Code: Select all
rm -f $VESTA/web/softaculous
mkdir -p $VESTA/disabled_plugins
mv $VESTA/web/softaculous $VESTA/disabled_plugins

Re: Get Rid Softaculous Updates Cron Jobs
you need to manually remove the cron schedules. On my Debian servers it is
Code: Select all
rm -rf /etc/cron.d/softaculous
rm -rf /etc/cron.d/softaculous2
