Hello, I get a 'Cron /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp --cron' email through every morning, with a very long list of cron tasks. Can this be disabled?

  This cron keeps cPanel up to date on the system. I wouldn't recommend disabling it.

  Sorry, I meant disable the daily email - is that possible?

  Hi, Disabling the email can be done, but it has to be done in the crontab. Here's a post about it that should help: How to stop upcp cron emails? tl;dr: Add the following to the end of the cron:
  >/dev/null 2>&1
  I hope this helps :D

  Hello, I've looked at that screen but I can't see any way to modify the cron - how do I do this?

  Ahh, it's been a while since I've been in that part of WHM. The easiest way is to make this change via SSH.
  crontab -e
