Resolved Disable cron messages for Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

[HHawk]

Hi guys,

I have a quick question; I receive daily a message from the cron job for Kaspersky Anti-Virus that is has been updated. I tried pointing it to /dev/null as someone stated for a different cron job, however that doesn't work. I still receive the message, so I am doing it wrong or it's something.

This is the message I receive daily:

/etc/cron.daily/kav8update:


Loading engine...
Current product version: 8.5.1.5
Initializing engine...
Using xml-file: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/settings.xml.

LICENSE INFO:
Key file: kav.key
Expiration date: 22/09/2017
Operation result code: 0x00000000. Success
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload kavehost.service

Maybe someone can tell me where I can disable these daily messages...?

Have you tried solution from Resolved - KAV cron email ?

Hi IgorG!

Thanks for pointing that out. I actually did a search on the forum AND on Google for this, but couldn't find anything up-to-date.
Guess I must have used the wrong search terms. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks once again, I am certain the solution in the thread will work, as I placed the /dev/null string in the wrong line!

Regards

Didn't work.

Still getting CRON messages. Checked it today and yesterday.

/etc/cron.daily/kav8update:


Loading engine...
Current product version: 8.5.1.5
Initializing engine...
Using xml-file: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/settings.xml.

LICENSE INFO:

I changed:
service kavehost reload
to
service kavehost reload > /dev/null 2>&1

And rebooted the server...

this will work for me

#!/bin/bash

SDK_HOME=/opt/kav/sdk8l3
export KL_PLUGINS_PATH="$SDK_HOME/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$KL_PLUGINS_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

$SDK_HOME/bin/keepup2date8 --download --licinfo --simplelic --version --xmlfile $SDK_HOME/bin/settings.xml >> /var/log/kav-update.log 2>&1
RET=$?

case "$RET" in

        # 0 - Success
        service kavehost reload > /dev/null 2>&1
        ;;
    10|20)
        # 10 - All files are up-to-date
        # 20 - An operation did not complete because the current version of definitions is newer than the version in the source
        RET=0
        ;;
esac

exit $RET

Yeah I have exactly the same. I will re-edit it once again and reboot the machine.

 

[HHawk]

Well I exactly redid the change, but still getting the cron messages.

Though they are a little different compared to my first post.

Before change:

/etc/cron.daily/kav8update:


Loading engine...
Current product version: 8.5.1.5
Initializing engine...
Using xml-file: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/settings.xml.

LICENSE INFO:
Key file: kav.key
Expiration date: 22/09/2017
Operation result code: 0x00000000. Success
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload kavehost.service

After change:

/etc/cron.daily/kav8update:


Loading engine...
Current product version: 8.5.1.5
Initializing engine...
Using xml-file: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/settings.xml.

LICENSE INFO:
Key file: kav.key
Expiration date: 22/09/2017
Operation result code: 0x00000000. Success

So after the change, only the line "Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload kavehost.service" is removed...
...stil getting these annoying messages.

 

[moswak]

sure you have edited 2 lines ?

first

$SDK_HOME/bin/keepup2date8 --download --licinfo --simplelic --version --xmlfile $SDK_HOME/bin/settings.xml >> /var/log/kav-update.log 2>&1

second

service kavehost reload > /dev/null 2>&1

there is no need to reboot the server.

 

[HHawk]

I just edited it again, maybe I missed something indeed. Could be, because I am tired as of late.

 

[HHawk]

Yes, now it's finally working. I must have done something wrong. At least now I am not receiving those annoying messages anymore! TY.
