Starting on October 19, 2021, we will enable single-sign-on for our Plesk Support Center to provide a seamless login/account experience. This implies that you’ll be able to use a single account across any of our web-facing properties.
To be prepared for this change and to avoid the need to register during your next ticket submission after the change, we encourage you to create an account here before October 19 using the same email address as your current Zendesk login (support account). It’s essential that you use the same email address on our support center to ensure that your tickets stay attached to the same account. You will continue to use ZenDesk authentication until we switch over to single-sign-on on October 19th.

    There is no such menu in domains. Scheduled tasks or Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks does not exist there

    "Scheduled task" menu is missing because it was disabled in your service plan. Please contact Plesk server administrator and ask him to enable this menu.

    Hi Steel Bis,

    This should be checked directly with Cron schedule syntax, see here: https://crontab.guru/#0_9-17_*_*_*

    Hi, I have a lack of knowledge on how to set up the Scheduled task when using a Ruby app.

    In my app I create a rake task to execute an update and I want to call it using the command option.
    Let's say my rake task is database:update.

    How should I write the command in order to configure properly my Scheduled task ?

    Thanks.
