Ossav License Removal | Plesk OSSAV Ad Removal

The free license service provided by OSSAV Technology can cause various problems for many users. In this article, we will explain step by step how you can completely remove the OSSAV license from your server.

Step 1 – Cleaning Cron Jobs

First, we need to clean all cron jobs related to OSSAV. As root user, enter the following commands in your console:

rm -f /etc/cron.d/ossav*
rm -f /etc/cron.daily/ossav*
rm -f /etc/cron.hourly/ossav*
rm -f /etc/cron.monthly/ossav*
rm -f /etc/cron.weekly/ossav*

Then use the following command to list your current cron jobs:

crontab -e

You will see an output like the following on the screen:

[root@test-server ~]# crontab -e
20 1 * * * /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -er "eval(file_get_contents('http://ossav.com/OLC'));" 
        

You can use either vim or nano editors to delete the line related to OSSAV:

• Vim: Go to the relevant line and press dd to delete it.
• Nano: Delete the line as you would delete normal text.

To save and exit edits:

• Vim: Press Esc, then type :wq and press Enter.

After these operations, only your necessary cron jobs will remain.
