Contao-Manager does not complete most of the tasks

[PotatoCarl]

Hi I have very often the problem that a task of the Conto-Manager (package installation, updates etc.) is not completed in the web interface. It runs a while and then just the message "could not start task" is shown. The console does not display any information. Example: (console)

$ /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/BRACE2/web/contao-manager.phar.php composer update cliffparnitzky/tiny-mce-plugin-loader contao/conflicts --with-dependencies --prefer-dist --no-dev --no-progress --no-suggest --no-ansi --no-interaction --optimize-autoloader

Package "cliffparnitzky/tiny-mce-plugin-loader" listed for update is not installed. Ignoring.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies

I can however (if I am quick enough) copy the command line and insert it into a shell - where it is completed without any problem.

This happens in about 70-80% of the tasks to be performed.

Additionally, the displayed "close" button is not working, I have to reload the contao-manager to close that window.

My system: Virtual Server Ubuntu LTS 16.04.6

How can I make sure that the tasks are competed?

Greetings

I looks like some server process manager is breaking the Contao Manager. How long does it take until the task stops running? Like the default ~30 seconds?

I did not take the time, but it is at last 30sec, maybe more. When I check on the server with ps -aef | grep php I see actually some manager processes still running. Starting the (in the webinterface) shown command line on the command line and it typically works well.

does this issue still exist or can we close it?

With the last update even full updates work nice and no problem anymore. You can close it, thanks.
