Resolved 6 identical (default) task in the scheduled tasks overview

[Wolfgang Reidlinger]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.57.2

Can somebody please explain me why I find 6 identical (default) task in the scheduled task overiew?
Is this a PLESK default setting, or can I remove some of this tasks?

This is the command executed in the task:

 /opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'

This is how a task looks like:



Have not dived into the code, maybe somebody did already and know what this task is doing and why it is there 5 times?
I have the Sectigo extension installed and using it for Lets Encrypt Certificates.



Many thanks,
Cheers!

These seem to be tasks that check the prolongation status of existing certificates. If they all have the same parameters or none, it is probably save to remove all but one of them.

Hi,

Sound as wrong behaviour and it seems I was able to reproduce the issue. I agree with Peter, it is safe to remove unnecessary duplicated tasks.
Thank you for the reporting. Internal tracking ID: EXTPLESK-5241

Thanks @Peter Debik for the explanation.
I did check all Command lines and they are exactly the same.

/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'
/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'
/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'
/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'
/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'
/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/sectigo/scripts/remove-expired-tokens.php'

Right now I deleted 5 task and stick to one weekly task.
@AYamshanov thanks for the effort to reproduce the behavior.
Would be nice if the DEV Team can fix this issue (ID: EXTPLESK-5241) for the future.
The Question can be closed.

Cheers!

Maybe another improvement request. For the average user / admin it would be nice if the Descriptions of the scheduled task is saying something more than just the name of the PLESK Extension. What it is doing and why it is important would be interesting to know!
Another feature that I'm missing here is the possibility to enable email notification for all task at one. Currently one have to enable email notification one by one for each task.

These could make interesting new feature requests. Why not add them to Feature Suggestions: Top (1950 ideas) – Your Ideas for Plesk, so that others can vote for them.
