Get Rid Softaculous Updates Cron Jobs Topic is solved

[yoko eagle]

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

Code: Select all

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user	command
17 *	* * *	root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6	* * *	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) > /dev/null 2>&1
47 6	* * 7	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) > /dev/null 2>&1
52 6	1 * *	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

How to get rid this softaculous updates notification.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can disable it via Softaculous admin panel
General section

Can you also write the CLI command to disable Softaculous? Would be easy for many who have hard time finding it in the WebUI.
Thanks

You can disable via Gui - Plugins section, or cli command

Code: Select all

v-delete-vesta-softaculous

Hi imperio,
I have run the command line

Code: Select all

/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-delete-vesta-softaculous

but nothing changed. Still got the update notification everyday.
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 get them too...

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

Hi mehargags,
Yesterday I run your code and got this

# rm -f $VESTA/web/softaculous
# mkdir -p $VESTA/disabled_plugins
# mv $VESTA/web/softaculous $VESTA/disabled_plugins
mv: cannot stat '/usr/local/vesta/web/softaculous': No such file or directory

Still got the updates email today.

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

Thanks, that did the trick for me on Ubuntu 16.04.3
