I was upgrading a plesk install today (linux based), using the plesk CP (Server / Updater) and I don’t like looking at an interface that says “You will receive an e-mail once the install is complete”.
A very simple solution for people that “need” to know what’s happening and don’t like waiting for an e-mail, is to log in the server using ssh (you can use PuTTY for that) go to /tmp:
cd /tmp
and do a:
ls -asl *log
You should see all the files ending in *log (beware, there might be quite a few files to match that pattern), and among them something like:
712 -rw——- 1 root root 724202 Aug 6 03:00 autoinstaller3.log
As soon as you locate that file, you can “tail” it. In my case:
tail -f autoinstaller3.log
Et voila, you will be able to see what’s happening with the upgrade process. To stop following the upgrade process, just pres Ctrl+C and you will get back to the bash prompt.
Asa ca ii urez un Happy Happy Birthday, si cat mai multe succese la noul job! Pentru cei care nu stiati, Lorand R. Minyo este noul Crocodil de marketing de la Trilulilu.
