Hello, I'm getting log messages and am not sure where they are coming from.
I tried "grep -R letsencrypt /etc/cron*" and also "grep -R certbot /etc/cron*" and I cannot figure out what cron is launching that is trying to run python in this way.
I also suspect my certbot install is perhaps not functioning. But my websites are protected, so the certs I have are valid.
