• 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 restarts, qmail problem

Good day, support

Xinetd has been restarted by itself on our plesk server and shut down qmail. He tried to restart it, but something gone wrong.

Here is part of watchdog log. As i understand, it is his fault? Can you tell me something about my suggestions?

I got exactly the same problem at Fedora core2 with psa v7.5.4_build75060118.18.
I have the same entries at my watchdog log file and this at my /var/log/messages.
Mar 10 06:18:33 host xinetd[4688]: Exiting...
Mar 10 06:18:33 host xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded
Mar 10 06:18:33 host xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
Mar 10 06:18:34 host qmail: Starting qmail: succeeded
Mar 10 06:18:34 host xinetd[24917]: xinetd Version 2.3.13 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Mar 10 06:18:34 host xinetd[24917]: Started working: 5 available services
Mar 10 06:18:35 host qmail: qmail-send shutdown succeeded

I don't understand the last command.
At 06:18:34 the qmail has been started and at 06:18:35 (1 second after) has been shutdown!!!!!

A little research i have make it seems that if we disable the watchdog to monitor qmail the problem will be solved!
 
Yes, you are right. Watchdog shuts down qmail by some unknown reason. I guess it is some kind of bug.

If you will shut down watchdog everything will be ok. I did so...
