/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -autoupdates false
 
Thanks for the replay

[root@vps16586 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -autoupdates false
Unknown command: -autoupdates


[root@vps16586 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref
Usage: command [options]



What is wrong?
 
I see on my test Plesk 11 server:

root@ppu11-0:~# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref --help | grep autoup
-autoupdates <true|false> Automatically download and install
-autoupgrade-stable <true|false> Upgrade to a new stable version of
 
I see the next.


[root@vps16586 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref --help | grep autoup
-autoupdates <true|false> Automatically download and install
-autoupgrade-stable <true|false> Upgrade to a new stable version of

[root@vps16586 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -autoupdates false
Unknown command: -autoupdates

[root@vps16586 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -autoupgrade-stable false
Unknown command: -autoupgrade-stable


Strange, how it's posible?
 
-autoupdates is option. There is should be command before:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref --help

Usage: server_pref command [options]


So, it should be:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -u -autoupdates false
SUCCESS: Server preferences are successfully updated
 
I have applied this but there isnt any message os SUCCESS: Server preferences are successfully updated.
Just silent. I hope is ok.
 
Make sure that you have following setting in psa database:

mysql> select * from misc where param='disable_updater';
+-----------------+-------+
| param | val |
+-----------------+-------+
| disable_updater | false |
+-----------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Try to change it to true.
 
Usually after the update failure plesk is not working, but you may start it with command:
# service psa start
Have you tried that?
If it starts, then you may disable updates at Tools & Settings -> Update and Upgrade Settings
