Resolved Cron Daemon: show message: edit /etc/tmpreaper.conf to remove this message (look for SHOWWARNING)

[Zurrie]

Hello everyone,

My Plesk INFO:
OS Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.32 Update #2

Problem: i got this error after uninstall imunify360
============================================================
/etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper:
Please read /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz first;
edit /etc/tmpreaper.conf to remove this message (look for SHOWWARNING).
============================================================
but then i try to reinstall imunify360 again but the cron daemon still keep sending this message.

Q: does anyone know whats the meaning of those message in cron?

Thanks, best regards

Dear Peter,

Thanks for the info, got very useful links from you.

Best Regards,

When I try:

sed -i 's/SHOWWARNING=true/SHOWWARNING=false/' /etc/tmpreaper.conf

I get:

sed: can't read /etc/tmpreaper.conf: No such file or directory

Any other ideas? Or did I do it wrong?

 

[Peter Debik]

So tmpreaper is not present, yet you are getting mails on it as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377055645847 ?

 

[artalva]

How about creating that config file with the option to disable the warning:

echo "SHOWWARNING=false" > /etc/tmpreaper.conf

Maybe that'll work.

I receive this message via e-mail once a week:

/bin/sh: line 1: /opt/alt/tmpreaper/usr/sbin/tmpreaper: No such file or directory

A while ago I installed Immunify360, uninstalled it and now have ImunifyAV installed.

I don't have any /etc/tmpreaper.conf

How do I get rid of these e-mails?

 

[Phantasia]

Any update on this?

# sed -i 's/SHOWWARNING=true/SHOWWARNING=false/' /etc/tmpreaper.conf

as described in the link above doesn't work because:
sed: can't read /etc/tmpreaper.conf: No such file or directory

 

[Kaspar]

@Phantasia how about the suggestion post by artalva? Does that work for you?

Hello @Kaspar, how would I set up such a config file?

 

[Kaspar]

@Phantasia, yes, the command provided by @artalva will create the config file for you.

echo "SHOWWARNING=false" > /etc/tmpreaper.conf

 

[Phantasia]

@Phantasia, yes, the command provided by @artalva will create the config file for you.

echo "SHOWWARNING=false" > /etc/tmpreaper.conf

@Kaspar Sorry for my late reply - thank you! I now have the config file

Today, once again I received an email saying:

/bin/sh: line 1: /opt/alt/tmpreaper/usr/sbin/tmpreaper: No such file or directory

Hi @Phantasia , I have the exact same issue after uninstalling Imunify360 and going back to ImunifyAv free. Were you able to stop the notifications? What did you do? I believe there must be a way to manually delete the cron job that is triggering them...

 

[jhernanper]

However, I cannot see any cron job in Plesk that refers to tmpreaper...

Hello @jhernanper,
no, unfortunately I still get this message by mail on a weekly basis:

/bin/sh: line 1: /opt/alt/tmpreaper/usr/sbin/tmpreaper: No such file or directory

 

[Peter Debik]

Did you check /etc/cron/weekly if there is a weekly job of it? Did you check the /etc/cron/hourly entries, too, because it just might show up weekly but might be executed in an hourly script? Did you check /var/spool/cron for jobs that could trigger it?

Hello Peter,
I just found 2 entries in /etc/cron.d: imunify-antivirus and imunify-notifier. Can I delete these entries?

imunify-antivirus

You could try to comment the line

25 1 * * 6     root    /opt/alt/tmpreaper/usr/sbin/tmpreaper 168 /var/imunify360/tmp

(add a # as the first character of the line).
