Hi.

Today a new task has appeared. It is not enabled but i'm worried.

Any hint?
Is it from Plesk?
 
That looks like the default cron job listed at the crontab as an example. You can use crontab -l to see if the you crontab output looks something like this:

Code:
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)

Oh. You are right, the example task is there.
Thank for your help Kaspar.
