Watchdog email notifications

Pagemakers

Silver Pleskian
When my server reboots I get about 12 email notifications from Watchdog that services are being started.

I don’t get the same thing from my other Plesk servers upon reboot. How can I stop it?
 
I get this on the Parallels AWS EC2 AMI offering, but not on the one from CloudLinux.

At least I know it is working on the Parallels version. Not sure it if it is on the CloudLinux one or not, not yet anyway.
 
We have 2 plesk 12 servers. 1 sends the emails on restart and one doesn't. I had Parallels look at this and here is their fix.

> The difference of 2 Plesk 12 servers is in '/etc/init/psa-monit.conf' and '/etc/init/psa-wdcollect.conf' configuration files.

> Configuration files on the 2nd server contain '/bin/sleep 60' which prevents watchdog loading before services it should monitor. That is why notifications were not sent.
