Hello team,
After doing what you suggested I am still getting 'disable-updater: false', I am having a hard time trying to find the meaning of it in the documentation, could you please give us more information about this?, As per my understanding in order to avoid updates I should set it to 'true', please advise.
# plesk bin server_pref --show | grep -i update
disable-updater: false
Hi Reynaldo Abimael Aceves Chamosa
In order to disable auto updates please run the following command on the server:
plesk bin server_pref -u -autoupdates false
After that you could check it using the following command:
plesk bin server_pref --show | grep -i autoupdates
autoupdates: false
If you want enable it use the following command:
plesk bin server_pref -u -autoupdates true
And check:
plesk bin server_pref --show | grep -i autoupdates
autoupdates: true
Hi Lev,
I was looking for a description of the 'disable-updater' setting from the 'server_pref' Plesk command, like what you have here in this article https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/cli-linux/37785/ or https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/cli-linux/using-command-line-utilities/server_pref-interface-and-system-preferences.37785/
Hello Reynaldo Abimael Aceves Chamosa,
Thank you for the clarification.
Let me know if you have additional questions.
