Advanced users • Re: KEEP autostart terminal open like in UI

You're making an assumption in that because the address and port cannot be bound your script is already running. It might not be. It's possible for a program to crash and not have the port released.

Well,
that is NOT the case, this had simply been the beginning of the journey cause in that moment I had assumed it was running AND I HAD CHECKED IT, too.
I had switched over to Homeassistant and listened on the mqtt integration for the mqtt messages only this script could send .

The pi 3 running grott is reacting as a proxy and forwarding messages from the growatt solar inverter to the growatt cloud and to my mqtt broker. And therefore I had written before

the result is pretty much the same which means that the script is running the code cause in case I open a terminal and run

Code:

python3 /home/pi/Desktop/grott/grott.py -v

manually then I get this error which you get if you start the py script a second time - so it is running and I also get the mqtt messages.

And it is still running all the time without a visible terminal cause every minute the mqtt message arrives or rather 2 or 3 times a minute.

That being said I will try out your suggestions this evening when I am back step by step.

Thanks for your in depth support and help.
