After updating hestiacp to v1.9.2 i starts receiving emails below
my-server-link.dummy : Feb 6 12:00:01 : hestiaweb : a password is required ; PWD=/var/spool/cron ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart
my-server-link.dummy : Feb 7 02:10:08 : hestiaweb : a password is required ; PWD=/usr/local/hestia/web/fm/dist ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/chmod o+x /home/saadiftikhar/.ssh
my-server-link.dummy : Feb 7 02:11:13 : hestiaweb : a password is required ; PWD=/usr/local/hestia/web/fm/dist ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/chmod o+x /home//.ssh
i look like hestia is running under hestiaweb user and my commands are running under root user
how can i fix these?
Check if you have this file /etc/sudoers.d/hestiaweb
If that file doesn’t exist:
cp -f /usr/local/hestia/install/common/sudo/hestiaweb /etc/sudoers.d/

I have updated the password for the hestiaweb user. I will monitor the system for a day or two to determine whether I continue receiving emails.
Hi, i have monitored the server for 3 days and i am still receiving email.

I have disabled the auto updates from UI but when i turned it on it does not turns on from the UI.root@srv1 ~ # v-add-cron-hestia-autoupdate
my root user is already super user.

I have the same problem:myservor.mydomaine.com : Feb 11 07:30:01 : hestiaweb : a password is required ; PWD=/var/spool/cron ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/sbin/mybaschscript.sh
Defaults:root !requiretty

COMMAND=/usr/local/sbin/mybaschscript.sh
It is outside /usr/local/hestia/bin/ folder
So create the cron under the root user

Do you have a command to restart cron in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb

Remove the last on /usr/local/sbin/mybaschscript.sh is outside the /usr/local/hestia/bin/ folder

Ok, the same script is launched two times a day. On time is ok as root:
0 6 * * * sudo /usr/local/sbin/backup-ftp-online.sh
At 6 o’clock, it works.
I have remove the other one at 7:30 ^^
Thanks.

That is fine
If it contains any commands outside the /usr/local/hestia/bin/ then it should be removed …
Yes i have clamav-daemon restart command in the cron file

Remove that and create one under the root user instead…
crontab -e
