Plesk Scheduled Tasks - Deny: Previous script did not finished yet

Question

I had a script added to the Plesk's scheduled task, then, I removed it from the scheduled task, but it was still running in background and using lots of CPU, so I killed it via shell htop, Now I am trying to add that script back to the scheduled task again, But when I run it I am getting following error

Deny: Previous script did not finished yet

I have tried deleting the entries from "longtasks" table via a shell command

 plesk db "delete from longtasks"

But that didn't work.

I have the following version of Plesk and operating system on my server

Plesk Version: Onyx 17.8

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 Server LTS

ScreenShot of error

please Let me know if anybody have any suggestion, Thanks!

Answer 1

Looks like the script is finished properly, as far as Plesk concerns, while Deny: Previous script did not finished yet message is the output of the script itself.

Try running it manually to make sure, and then review its's content to fing why it is not executing as expected.
