Hello

This appears to be an email your vesta control panel is sending due to a cronjob running.

You will need to disable the cronjob or fix your vesta control panel setup.

    Do I want to suspend all my jobs raining under “CRON”, could anyone explain me why CRON jobs are running and what will happen if I suspend or delete the Job?

    @santhoshsri2002 Cron jobs are simply recurring processes that run a command. You could disable them, but presumably they are doing a task that is needed. If you want them to not send any more mail, you could append > /dev/null 2>&1 to the end of the commands so they discard any output rather than email you, like so:

    sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-rrd > /dev/null 2>&1

    Though this may cause you to miss an error that you want to know about. The error sudo: unable to resolve host skbabu means that you local hostname can’t be resolved. What are the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts ?
