Security Advisor Notification

[Crimpshrine]

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?

Not exactly. It only says "This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server." and that was it...

[[email protected] ~]# /usr/bin/needs-restarting
This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.
[[email protected] ~]#

That's not helpful at all, is it? The good news, is that this can be ignored if there is no output:

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4404419242007-Security-Advisor-failed-to-run-with-unexpected-output

We're working on a fix for that issue so you can follow along with that case to get notified once there is an update.

Okay, thank you. I will await for the update.

And seems to be cpanel side for sure
Cloudlinux:
Unfortunately, there's no solution yet. A possible solution might be implemented on the cPanel side.

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.

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.
