Security Advisor Notification
After receiving some inputs here, I finally switched the server we had from VPS to dedicated server that can run on CloudLinux. I am currently finalizing the transfer and making sure that the server runs smoothly without errors. Overnight, I received email notification that said:
Failed to check whether running executables are up-to-date: The system received unexpected output from "/usr/bin/needs-restarting": This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.
This morning, I ran Security Advisor and got the same message in it. Since then, I have downloaded the latest update and installed, then ran "yum clean all" command, rebooted the server, but the problem still persist. What can be the issue or something that I am doing wrong? Other than this, everything cleared out including external DNS tests and SSL tests.

Hey there! What happens if you run the /usr/bin/needs-restarting command manually on the server? Does it provide any helpful output? 0 -

Not exactly. It only says "This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server." and that was it...# /usr/bin/needs-restarting This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.

Months later, still no update on this? I am getting the same thing. OS CloudLinux v8.7.0 STANDARD standard cPanel Version 110.0.5 0 -
At this point I don't see any updates. I've reached out to that dev team, but I'm not going to hear anything over the weekend. I'm going to see if I can get some more details on this next week and I'll let you know. 0 -
I do see that one of our development teams is looking into the case, but I don't have any other information to share at this point. 0 -
Updates on this would be appreciated, specially since now CloudLinux 8 is needed for latest cPanel update. 0 -
I don't have any additional updates to provide at this time. 0 -
We are waiting for this too. Thanks! 0 -
Even i started getting this error email Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). The following events were logged: "scripts/find_outdated_services". Review the update logs to determine why the update failed. 2023-06-28 00:37:17 +0530] E [/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/find_outdated_services] STDOUT: This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.0 -
If you manually run the outdated services command, does it show any output? 0 -
@KJ - yes, that sounds like the same case. I don't have a resolution at this time, but I can see our team is working on the issue. 0 -
Sure thing! 0 -

That's good to hear, I've been noticing the advisor catching this as of late. I was initially worried but sounds like it'll be a small annoyance until patched. That being said manually running the command only displays the same "This system is receiving updates from the Cloudlinux network" but doesn't display any services. Should a service need to be restarted will it still show in the log with the CL line?0 -
Yes, I would still expect a service that needs to be restarted to show up. 0 -
hello, is there any update? 0 -

Why is it taking over a year for this to be fixed? I'm also getting this.

Here is the article that didn't get copied over as part of the Forums migration:
I did reach out to the team again just now and while I don't have any type of ETA or anything, they are aware of the case.

Update - this is fixed in version 120 as of right now with a backport requested to 118 .

I am now on version 120, however issue persists.

Jihad Abou-Saleh - I don't have any other reports of the issue happening on my end after the 120 update. Could you provide a screenshot of the error or text of the email you're seeing?

If you manually run "/usr/bin/needs-restarting" what does that show?
0 -
No, when running the Security Advisor

I understand where it is coming from, I just wanted to see what happens when you manually call it on the command line.

[root@london ~]# /usr/bin/needs-restarting
This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.
[root@london ~]#Entire post is related to the security advisor, so should run as expected within the security advisor to benefit from the auto daily check
