This morning I tried to turn a plugin back on (moderator plugin) and got the following error when rebuilding the app. I then disabled the plugin and rebuilt again to only get the same error. I also tried disabling all the plugins. Any other ideas? This is on my sandbox so it’s not critical. It was working fine prior to this and I didn’t make any other changes besides a git pull.

Curiosity: does sudo reboot command do the same thing as sudo shutdown -r now? ( i always used reboot on linux, only used shutdown -r -t 0 in windows :D)

Suspect they do the same thing under the hood (switching run levels) but don’t quote me on it!

Looks like it’s trying to spawn a new process when there is already one running?

Try a reboot?:

sudo shutdown -r now
