  • ERROR Binding to poert *

    From Mortifis@VERT/EMPTYKEG to All on Fri Nov 2 14:42:06 2018
    Ran into an odd problem, sbbs stopped reponding *most* services, so I looked at the logs and discovered basically all ports had error binding to port * so I shutdown sbbs with pkill sbbs, ran ps -ef | grep sbbs ... nothing running, ran netstat -lntp which showed any of the ports sbbs uses were not bound to anything, so I did a console startup of sbbs sudo sbbs and again, error binding to ports * ...

    any ideas (rebooted the system to no affect)

    Thank you, knew that info, netstat -lntp showed that nothing was bound to the ports in question, upon further investigation it turned out that two instances of sbbs were trying to start at the same time so neither were able to bind, I deleted the rouge symlink and all is well again.
