[macOS] Swar manager stops every time it start a new plot

[GameOSX]

I've got this problem - Swar Manager v.0.1.0 stops running every time it start a new plot, and I have to start it manually again and again. In debug log it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/psutil/_psosx.py", line 344, in wrapper
    return fun(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/psutil/_psosx.py", line 562, in nice_set
    return cext_posix.setpriority(self.pid, value)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/aaa/Plot-Manager-Test/Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager/stateless-manager.py", line 94, in <module>
    jobs, running_work, next_job_work, next_log_check = monitor_jobs_to_start(

    raise AccessDenied(self.pid, self._name)

On previous version there wasn't such problem.

looks like you have a permission error. Since it says permission denied.

run sudo in front of everything for admin priviliges for now.

Hey guys,

I experienced the same problem here with Ubuntu 20.04. I was completely clearing the debug log a few minutes before the new plot should start. The plot was created correctly, but the manager stopped. The debug log is completely empty (0 Bytes).

I'm plotting 3 parallel plots on a 2TB SSD, with 32 GB RAM. Stagger time is 3 hours (Phase 1 average time is about 2h 55m)

Anyone has an idea, why this is happening?

Edit: I was setting the max. parallel plots now to 2 for testing.

Edit 2: Plotmanager also stopped with only 2 parallel plots. I was also testing now the previous version (0.0.1) and the error didn't occur.

Best regards, Peter

Hi, Idem, the same problem here in windows 10. After few minutes the Manager Status automatically changes to Stopped. I didn't remenber this issues in previous versions.

Same for me. Linux. i've disabled affinity in config and running both with sudo and without it. it stops when new plot kicks off

I had a similar experience last night on Windows 10. I was getting some less than optimum plot times, stopped the manager on two machines, changed some parameters (increased threads, reduced max parallel plots) and started the manager again. I launched the viewer and when the still running plots appeared. When it was time for a new plot to launch, the status of the manager changed to stopped. I exited the viewer and restarted the manager, back to the viewer same thing happens (both machines). Went back to launching individual PS windows manually for now :-(

Probably the solution- https://github.com/swar/Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager/discussions/950#discussioncomment-794886 - trying this right now

For me solution from @SoMoney worked very well. So all You need to do is not setting unix_process_priority below 0
