[: 8: x0: unexpected operator run-parts: pleskupdate exited with code 0

[CorneliusH]

I am running Plesk 10.3.1 on Ubuntu (2.6.18-028stab091.2) and the daily cron job produces the following result:

Cron <root@xxxx> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )

/etc/cron.daily/60sa-update:
$$Shutting down psa-spamassassin service: done $$Starting psa-spamassassin service: done

Could you please check package of this file with:

# dpkg -S /etc/cron.daily/pleskupdate

Hi all,

have had the same issue w/ ubuntu lts 10.04.3 and plesk 10.11.

Fixed(?, at least it seems to behave normally but haven't looked into details) it by editing /etc/cron.daily/kav8update to the following:

#!/bin/sh
MYHOME=/opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin
$MYHOME/keepup2date8 --download --licinfo --simplelic --version --xmlfile $MYHOME/settings.xml
RET=$?

if [ $RET = "0" ]; then /etc/init.d/kavehost reloaddb; fi

if [ $RET = "10" ]; then RET=0; fi # all bases are already up2date

exit $RET

FWIW, i don't have the file pleskupdate cronjob in the given location either.

Any ideas?

Thanks
C

That's not the complete solution.
Exchanging the == with = in /etc/cron.daily/kav8update did fix the "[: 8: x0: unexpected operator" message.

The second issue is in line "run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/pleskupdate exited with return code 1"
If I look into the script, it states "/opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base"
Calling this directly, I get

Doing restart of Parallels Installer...

OK, I got this solved:

It's not an issue with plesk, it's one with my server provider: Strato

They are evaluating new plesk releases before enabling them for their customers. And to disable the update, they've blocked the plesk update site... To solve this, you have to select an other update server by inserting a "--source URL" into the script /etc/cron.daily/pleskupdate.

It states like this, now:
/opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --source URL(don't know if it's allowed) --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base >/dev/null 2>&1

bash - dash

The real solution is not to use dash as the shell:

dpkg-reconfigure dash

--> Select "No"

So it is using bash instead of dash, solves allmost any problem with unexpected operator
