WE are running plesk on Centos 7 and need to check this config file every 5 minutes to make sure that line x is commented out as plesk keeps un commenting it.
We would run this under cron every 5 minutes...
the file path is
/etc/proftpd.d/50-plesk.conf
the line we wish to make sure is always commented is...
MasqueradeAddress 37.***.4***.60

You should find out why plesk keeps adding the line and fix that.

If you discover the line uncommented, would you also have to restart any services that might now be running “incorrectlyâ€�

Here is a possible answer about searching and replacing things inside a file, but as @RalfFriedl suggested you should find what is doing this in the first place. askubuntu.com/questions/20414/…

Instead of a cron job, as a short time measure, tell the OS to write protect that file.
Do:
sudo chattr +i /etc/proftpd.d/50-plesk.conf
Obviously, as the comments rightfully tell you, the duty of Plesk Support would be to tell you how to solve that, or give you a software fix.
