  • 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.

Question /cron/plesk.sh can't be created (how to create?)

New Pleskian
Hi,
I tried to create a cron job that automatically updates the dns for a specific subdomain.
However - the command "./cron/plesk.sh" when executed the first time created a directory "cron" with a file plesk.sh inside and the file had content.
But I couldn't make Plesk run that file via the task planner. It always said: plesk: command not found.
So I modified the plesk.sh file to run '/sbin/plesk db "query"' instead of 'plesk db "query"'.
Now the file is not working anymore, and when I deleted the folder with the file and tried to create it again.
When I run the command "./cron/plesk.sh" now it just says: "-bash: ./cron/plesk.sh: file or directory not found"

How can I create the /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/mysubdomain/cron/plesk.sh again?

Thanks in advance!
Lukas
 
It looks like that you try to run this script under chrooted environment. These KB articles may be useful for you:


Also, just in case, I would advise you to rename the script so that its name does not conflict with the system utility 'plesk'.
