Can't run CLI commands, or restart daemon. Working normally besides that?

Expected behaviour:

flexget seems to be running properly (downloads etc working) but any command on cli crashes (except version checking)

Actual behaviour:

There is a FlexGet process already running for this config, sending execution there.

• Python version: Python 2.7.12
• Installation method: managed seedbox (unsure)
• Using daemon (yes/no): yes
• OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
• Link to crash log:

@jacobkossman I’m having a little trouble reproducing this issue.

It looks to me like you might still have the daemon running with the old version, can you try restarting the daemon? flexget daemon stop; flexget daemon start and then retry executing commands?

[gazpachoking]

I think @chestm007 is probably right that your daemon needs to be restarted. This however probably won’t work via the cli commands, as they cause the crash. You may need to kill the daemon then start it up again. In the future, it is good practice to shut down the daemon before doing a flexget upgrade.
