SOLVED: Thank you @[email protected]
I just upgraded and rebooted my Arch Linux system like I have done a gazillion times before. I was firing up my various services and servers - qBittorrent-nox among them - and I wasn’t able to qbittorrent-nox -d it. This has never happened before. An error message says that I cannot launch qBittorrent-nox again, because it is already running, which it isn’t. I ps -e | grep torrent-ed, systemctl list --all-ed, but there really is no qBittorrent-nox running.
Has this happened to anybody here? Please advise.
Look for a lockfile in its config directory. Just delete it if it’s there. It can be left over when qbittorrent isn’t shut down correctly.
Hah! Nice catch! Thanks! 🥰
