Detected 1 process that is running outdated executables

popeye
I don't really understand all this below honest. People use kernel care and so on to save on reboots and then you get things like that you can restart from ssh one by one which takes fo ever or reboot the server ? so what's the point of kernel care and others like this. Detected 1 process that is running outdated executables: 684 You must take one of the following actions to ensure the system is up-to-date: Restart the listed process. Reboot the server.

    You don't mention the exact executable in your post. If it's EXIM, which I just had come up similarly, I restarted EXIM from: WebHost Manager "Restart Services "Mail Server (Exim)

    You'll have to find out what process is attached to that PID. Run: ps aux | awk '$2 ~ /^684$/' From root's shell

    Is this a CentOS 7 server? Does cPanel on CentOS 7 use CentOS's Network Manager for managing network interfaces? It would seem that you would need to restart your network, but I do not know how to advise you on how to do this. My experience with CentOS 7 is very limited.

    Hello, You could try the following, although you will have to do it on your own risk, depending on your setup:
    systemctl status NetworkManager.service systemctl restart NetworkManager.service systemctl status NetworkManager.service
    First I would check the status to see if it's running and if everything's ok, then I would restart the service and ultimately check again if it's restarted correctly. Let me know if it worked.

    Hello, Network Manager should be disabled on cPanel servers. Here's a document with information on how to disable it: How to Disable Network Manager - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

    Could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look? Thank you.

    Was the ticket opened for the same issue (the detection of several new processes requiring a reboot on a nightly basis)? If so, could you let us know the ticket number so we can take a closer look? Thank you.

    Hello, Could you open a new ticket and note that it's producing a new warning every night even after rebooting the system? Thank you.

    Sorry no after a reboot the warnings go, but i can't keep rebooting the server surely.

    I'm referring to the reappearance of the warnings on a nightly basis. EX: Day 1 - Detected 97 processes that are running outdated executables Day 1 - Reboot Day 1 - No processes detected Day 2 - Detected 97 processes that are running outdated executables Is that's what is happening on your system? If so, could you open a ticket so we can take a closer look? Thank you.

    Yes i just checked site advisor now and it says Detected 97 processes that are running outdated executables since my last reboot a few days ago. I don't think it's every night and i would think it depends on what's updated.

    That's correct. You'd generally only see this notification when packages on your system have been updated. You can review /var/log/yum.log to see if the notification corresponds to updates to your system packages. If this is happening when there have been no updates, then we're happy to take a closer look via a support ticket. Thank you.

    Yes but sometimes i reboot the server because of this, then the next day more updates and have to do it again. Never use to have to do all this a year or so ago.

    We're happy to take a closer look at this in a support ticket so we can review the system and verify there's no flaw in how that script is working. Thank you.
