Issue nginx restarted every hour due to keep-secured.php

Hi there

We have noticed on a few servers this entry in the action log

127.0.0.1 admin [2020-04-15 12:56:03] 'Update IP Address' ('Interface': 'eth0' => 'eth0', 'IP Address': 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', 'IP Mask': '255.255.255.0' => '255.255.255.0')

the time (in this case ever 56th minute) corresponds to this cron

56 4 * * * /opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/letsencrypt/scripts/keep-secured.php'

Every time it runs it restarts nginx

In this case killing a cron job that the client has running.

While we can work around this it seems very intrusive behaviour to restart nginx once an hour for any reason?

What is going on here? Is there a way around this other than disabling the cron and the functionality it provides.

A quick checks shows other servers with the same problem However, some servers with the same set up do not.
