Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Linux

Question

Email messages about Kaspersky definitions update are sent from a Plesk server:

PLESK_INFO: Loading engine...
Current product version: 8.5.1.5
Initializing engine...
Using xml-file: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/settings.xml.

LICENSE INFO:
Key file: kav.key
Expiration date: 20/03/2021
Operation result code: 0x00000000. Success Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload kavehost.service

How to disable these email notifications?

Answer

  1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Switch to the Kaspersky installation directory:

    # cd /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin

  3. Rename the original kav8update file:

    # cp kav8update kav8update.orig

  4. Download and unpack the patched file:

    # wget https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/360040709154/kav8update.zip
    # unzip -o kav8update.zip

  5. Set correct permissions on the patched file:

    # chmod 755 kav8update

    Now, output of the KAV cron task will be written to the /var/log/kav-update.log file instead of being sent by an email.

    The file in the archive has  CTRL-M (^M) characters:

    -bash: /opt/kav/sdk8l3/bin/kav8update: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    Had to run dos2unix on the file.
