Dr web cron emails every hour

[105547111]

On 9.5.1 I now get hourly cron emails from dr web about the updates.

Surely these should be supressed and only send out if update fails?

Cron <drweb@server> /opt/drweb/update.pl

Dr.Web (R) update details:
Update server: http://update.us.drweb.com/unix/500
Update has begun at Fri Apr 16 07:00:01 2010
Update has finished at Fri Apr 16 07:00:32 2010

Following files has been updated:
* */var/drweb/bases/drwdaily.vdb
* */var/drweb/bases/drwtoday.vdb
* */var/drweb/bases/dwntoday.vdb
* */var/drweb/bases/dwrtoday.vdb
* */var/drweb/updates/timestamp

Please post drweb crontab config.
Maybe you've to add ">/dev/null 2>&1" in the end of the statement.

Look in /etc/cron.d/

You will see a task - drweb-update

edit it:

*/30 * * * * drweb /opt/drweb/update.pl

change to:

*/30 * * * * drweb /opt/drweb/update.pl > /dev/null 2>&1

Save and enjoy the peace and quite

I tried this fix but now, every 30 minutes, I get an email saying...

/bin/sh: 1: ambiguous redirect

Any other ideas?

Thanks

I had this issue as well...Turn off the Cron Summary in the file /etc/drweb/drweb32.ini

# Enables output of update session log to stdout.
CronSummary = no

Easy workaround to solve your problem

(1) From the Plesk Home page, click "Scheduled Tasks"
(2) Click "daemon", "drweb", or whatever is giving you the error messages
(3) Under preferences, change the email to a valid email address. I like to create a new "junk" email and redirect all those emails to that one. Then I check go to that email's inbox and "block" each sender. Or, if you really hate somebody and have their email address, use theirs!

This is the only workaround if you don't have access to .ini files or changing the configs doesn't work.

Now if only there was a way to get rid of the tacky Atmail signatures.... Atmail Fail.

This doesn't help. It is set for me and I am still getting emails daily.

Bump. Did anybody figure this out. It is driving me nuts. The problem is that I am not to savvy with plesk or scent OS and had it installed by my service supplier. They won't help me stop the hourly cron daemon updates either. I believe I just need to stop the following service? /opt/drweb/update.pl
