Hi,
Cron Daemon is sending you mail means i am assuming you are having a VPS and root access to WHM.

You can then stop cron deamon from sending you mail by accordingly adjusting the settings in the "contact manager" section of your WHM inteface.

yes i do have root access where abouts do i adjust the contact manager settings to stop Cron Daemon from sending me emails ?

If you know exactly which owner uses that cronjob, then you may follow the below steps...
First login to that user's account via cPanel
go to the cronjob editor and use the advanced mode.
Then find the cronjob which is sending you the mails and redirect it to "/dev/null"

hello

ive done that but most of the emails are things like script updates and general server updates

which are sent to the "root" account

i think its part of web host manager

Then you need to follow the same procedure by logging into SSH as root user!

Hello

what is the command to run in ssh as root to stop all the cron demon email updates (script updates server backup emails)



Thanks

Hi,
You can stop all those mails by logging into WHM as root. Then go to Server Contacts --> Change System Mail Preferences

Here simply delete the email address in all the 3 fields.

That will stop all the system emails being delivered to your inbox.

Hello

ok ive done that ill reply to this topic if i continue to receve email's from cron daemon


thanks for your help
