Hi in CustomBuild / Edit Options / Cronjob Settings

Have this options
cron Yes
cron_frequency daily
notifications email
da_autoupdate no
updates no
webapps_updates no

But everyday makes updates, webapps updates, and today i see in the log directadmin autoupdate to.
So what iam missing to disable this autupdates?

I just only be notified about there is updates, and not to do autoupdate.
 
Also do you want the system to NOT update or do the updates? I can’t quite tell.

After you set the options did you run the
./build cron

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set cron yes
./build set cron_frequency weekly
./build set email [email protected]
./build set notifications yes
./build set da_autoupdate no
./build set update no
./build set clean_old_webapps yes
./build cron

Thanks no i didn´t run the ./build cron only the save button.
So i cant do this by Directadmin Panel? Where i can find this option in the Panel?
I try to find in the CustomBuild / Build Software but its not there.

Rebards
 
I think it’s one of the other tabs
not near my Mac currently.

all the save button does is save the option.conf file.
 
Only see one option in CustomBuild Functions
Enable/update CustomBuild cronjob ------ Enables or updates cronjob used by CustomBuild to send notifications to specified email address about the updates, auto-update components.

Is this?

Regards
 
yes
Tab CustomBuild Functions
Enable/update CustomBuild cronjobEnables or updates cronjob used by CustomBuild to send notifications to specified email address about the updates, auto-update components.
 
To be honest, I don't enable auto updates, just notifications. I like to update manually...... It only takes one error, then, boom, server down.

That is what he is doing. He wants only notices.

As an aside
I have run auto-updates for more than a year yet to have an issue. Not advocating running auto here. Mostly just seeing if the code quality is good enough. I like doing manual updating as well.
 
He never ran
./build cron

Once you save the changes. You have run the ./build cron to make the system recognize them.
 
But he said it was updating software? How. when there's no cron and updates is set to no? I'm confused....

But i think the button ./build cron the correct place is near Save, in cpanel we dont need to go to 2 places to do 1 thing.
Or after we make save shows a popup to choose to run ./build cron or not.

Lots to learn. Keep reading the docs. This isn’t cpanel or a cpanel clone. It’s something different. It’s DirectAdmin.

Thank you. I've been trying to figure this out for ages. This is a massive usability bug! When you update and save settings in the interface you expect them to take effect. At lease a popup warning that you have to do this would be helpful.

No problem. All you are doing is saving the options.conf file with the save button. You have do ./build cron to make it work.

Ya, I understand that now. However, it is not very intuitive. A warning or a popup with that information would be great. Heck, it doesn't even say that if you click the 'i' for more information. I feel like this information needs to be made much more clear.
