Disable cPanel Updates email

[gwen_the_hen]

Hello,

I get a 'Cron <[email protected]> /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp --cron' email through every morning, with a very long list of cron tasks. Can this be disabled?

This cron keeps cPanel up to date on the system. I wouldn't recommend disabling it.

Sorry, I meant disable the daily email - is that possible?

Hi,

Disabling the email can be done, but it has to be done in the crontab. Here's a post about it that should help:

How to stop upcp cron emails?

tl;dr: Add the following to the end of the cron:

>/dev/null 2>&1

I hope this helps :D

Hello,

I've looked at that screen but I can't see any way to modify the cron - how do I do this?

 

[JacobPerkins]

Ahh, it's been a while since I've been in that part of WHM.

The easiest way is to make this change via SSH.

crontab -e

OK great, I've done that - I will let you know how I get on. Thanks for your help.
