stop wordpress toolkit notification emails

[greektranslator]

I get emails like this, how can I disable them?

Subject: <[email protected]> sleep $((1 + RANDOM % 5))h $((1 + RANDOM % 60))m; /usr/bin/yum -y update wp-toolkit-cpanel

Hi,

You are getting this as part of the wp-toolkit cron notification. If you want to disable it, check the /etc/cron.d/wp-toolkit-update or /etc/cron* folders for the cron to verify the cron.

I would also agree that checking the cron is the way to go for this issue.

Right, the cron at /etc/cron.d/wp-toolkit-update has the following, I am still not clear at how to disable the emails, rather than the cron itself.

0 1 * * * root sleep $((1 + RANDOM \% 5))h $((1 + RANDOM \% 60))m; /usr/bin/yum -y update wp-toolkit-cpanel

Just add

>/dev/null 2>&1

after the cron's command.

Thanks, so it should be like this:

0 1 * * * root sleep $((1 + RANDOM \% 5))h $((1 + RANDOM \% 60))m; /usr/bin/yum -y update wp-toolkit-cpanel >/dev/null 2>&1

That looks correct to me. If you'd like to read more about that redirection, I found an excellent article here: Decoding `command > /dev/null 2>&1`

Thanks, so it should be like this:

0 1 * * * root sleep $((1 + RANDOM \% 5))h $((1 + RANDOM \% 60))m; /usr/bin/yum -y update wp-toolkit-cpanel >/dev/null 2>&1

Yes, this looks correct.

 

[greektranslator]

Right, for some reason I am still getting them:

Cron <[email protected]> sleep $((1 + RANDOM % 5))h $((1 + RANDOM % 60))m; /usr/bin/yum -y update wp-toolkit-cpanel

@greektranslator - interesting. Since you're still seeing those it might be best to put in a ticket with our team so we can track down the root of the issue.

 

[greektranslator]

This is quite strange indeed. I edit the file, confirm the change. Then the other day, after I get the e-mail, I check the file again, and it is back in its original version.

@greektranslator - are you saying the line inside the cron is being reverted after you make the change?
