• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Monitoring tmp directory question.

I was just curious if anyone here has found an effective way to monitor the /tmp directory on a RHEL3 server.

Basically I'm looking for something that will watch the tmp directory and drop an e-mail if a file is placed there with the .pl extension.

It would be very nice if this could also log the activity in the tmp directory, to the extent of figuring out the domain responsible for calling the .pl file so that it could be easily traced.

I've done a little digging and haven't found a simple script, etc. that will do this.

It's not enough to change the tmp directory to a noexec situation. I have applications that may need to execue something from the tmp directory, just not perl.

Any pointers in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks.
