• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

xinetd exiting every day at same time - qmail won't restart

Hello,

I am running Plesk Reloaded 7.5 Reloaded on a dedicated server. I upgraded recently the server with a yum update

Every morning at 03:22AM, I get this message :

Oct 26 03:22:52 flex xinetd[4161]: Exiting...
Oct 26 03:22:52 flex xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded

Oct 26 03:22:54 flex qmail: Starting qmail: succeeded
Oct 26 03:22:57 flex qmail: qmail-send shutdown succeeded

I checked all the logs and I really don't see what would cause xinetd to exit.

I run WatchDog on mail services, and I get constantly notified that qmail fails and then qmail passes.

But by checking the process status, I see no qmail-send or qmail-remote

I have to restart qmail-smtpd manually.

Any solution to this strange problem taking place at the same time of the day ?
 
WatchDog is a dog. Uninstall it. The only known problem with it which Plesk fixed is with it corrupting Spamassassin. But it is still buggy as hell.
