Topic: Problem with SOGo Active Sync upgrade cronjob

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Hi everyone! This is a very-noob- question. I received the following notification in my email. But I'm having a hard time trying to understand it. I think it says that it has some problems ugprading Active Sync, something in the first lines, about "debconf". But some lines below I think it says that it did upgraded that? I'm not completely sure.

Could someone help understand this message a little better? I googled several parts of this but couldn't find anything specific and I'm not sure exactly where to look in the documentation.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Re: Problem with SOGo Active Sync upgrade cronjob

I think this is to do with the fact that it didn't have a console to output the results to, since it ran under cron and not as a logged in shell.

As far as I can tell, it looks like the update was successful, but my recommendation would be to avoid doing apt software updates with cron, better to schedule your time hands on with your updates so that you can see interactively whats happening. Last thing you want is all your configs wiped out by an automated update, or a situation where something stopped working who knows how long ago and you struggle to figure out when/what things went wrong smile

Got it! Thanks for the suggestion smile

Actually, the only cron jobs I have is a certrenew with my normal user and iRedMail placed these ones in the root user:

30   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_mysql.sh

# iRedAPD: Clean up expired tracking records hourly.
1   *   *   *   *   python2 /opt/iredapd/tools/cleanup_db.py >/dev/null

# iRedAPD: Convert SPF DNS record of specified domain names to IP
#          addresses/networks hourly.
2   *   *   *   *   python2 /opt/iredapd/tools/spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py >/dev/null

# iRedMail: Cleanup Amavisd database
1   2   *   *   *   python2 /opt/www/iredadmin/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py >/dev/null

# iRedAdmin: Clean up sql database.
1   *   *   *   *   python2 /opt/www/iredadmin/tools/cleanup_db.py >/dev/null 2>&1

# iRedAdmin: Delete mailboxes on file system which belong to removed accounts.
1   *   *   *   *   python2 /opt/www/iredadmin/tools/delete_mailboxes.py
# iRedMail: Backup SOGo data databases on 04:01AM
1   4   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh

# Fail2ban: Unban IP addresses pending for removal (stored in SQL db).
* * * * * /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/fail2ban_banned_db unban_db

So... I don't exactly know where that message came from. Maybe it was something that runs in the first install? Because it arrived after I installed iRedMail

It's mentioned in first line of the cron output:

/etc/cron.daily/os-updates
