Restarted cron but that dint help, after that we executed:

/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d80

and getting this:

2022/01/29 16:21:42 fatal directadmin service is not running, refusing to run error=unable to get license info: Get "http://unix/license": dial unix /usr/local/directadmin/da-internal.sock: connect: no such file or directory

This happened after update to 1.63.5 , seems a bug to me, pingin @smtalk and @fln to assist

UPDATE:
Reboot fixed this

 

[fln]

@Active8 in the latest DirectAdmin releases, dataskq will refuse to run if directadmin service is not running with exactly this error message.

I think the problem was that directadmin service was stopped. Server reboot re-started the directadmin service and dataskq started to work again.
