spyder-remote-server (restart) problem

[nerohmot]

(SCT8) sct@MiniSCT-1:~$ conda deactivate
(base) sct@MiniSCT-1:~$ spyder-remote-server start
(base) sct@MiniSCT-1:~$ Before daemonization
Unable to acquire PID file.

(base) sct@MiniSCT-1:~$ 

also as root this doesn't work ...

(base) root@MiniSCT-1:/home/sct# spyder-remote-server start
(base) root@MiniSCT-1:/home/sct# Before daemonization
Unable to acquire PID file.

(base) root@MiniSCT-1:/home/sct# 

Yesterday we installed and ran it for the first time, so there was no "old" PID file, now there apparently IS, and he is choking on it ... maybe a permission problem ? In any case, I presume that spyder-remote-server start should be run as root (systemd is as root after all) right ?

Ok, so the PID file is located in /home/conda/forge/lib/python3.8/site-packages/spyder_remote_server and the permissions are:

-rw-rw-r--  1 sct  sct       5 Oct 26 17:52 daemon.pid

both the root and the sct user should be able to delete it ... is is not a permission problem ... maybe we interpret wrongly how this file is to be used ...

I deleted it by hand, and then the daemon is starting nicely :+1:

I guess the daemon ended "unexpectedely" and this happened, I can in the meantime add the deletion of PID files to the stop command, so at least it allows to clean.

When I update to use systemd, this daemoniker pth might not be needed anyway.

Will look into this.
