  • 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.

Resolved Cron and mysqlcheck

sweetp

Basic Pleskian
I want to set a Cron job to optimise all my databases, so i tried running this command from a Scheduled Task:
mysqlcheck -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --auto-repair --optimize --verbose --all-databases

But it always throws an error:
Task "mysqlcheck -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --auto-repair --optimize --verbose --all-databases" completed with error in 0 seconds, output:

cat: /etc/psa/.psa.shadow: Permission denied
Enter password: mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect


How can i set this Cron job, and have it run?
 
So it was actually a pretty simple solution.
I was adding the task on a specific webspace.

When I re-aded the task in Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks as a root user, it ran just fine.
:oops:
