Title: [SOLVED] Upgraded to 26.1.2, numerous services in "down" state
Post by: allenlook on February 17, 2026, 01:41:00 AM
Checking out the router, noticed memory utilization at 46% instead of recent norm of 56-66%.

Noticed ACME, Caddy, Host Discovery Service, and Intrusion Detection were all "red" or "down".

I clicked "Run" on all of them and each started back up except for ACME, which remains down. 

I may have to reboot.

Visiting the Services -> ACME Client -> Settings page and just clicking "Apply" without changing anything else restarted the service, and all are green at the moment.

Is there a way to be notified when services shut down like that?

Or, to automatically try to restart them?

I figured out what caused the problem, most likely.

After the update to 26.1.2 the system was supposed to reboot.  The dialog came up with the little spinning gear wheel, but then it returned back to the dashboard and kept running, there was likely no actual reboot.

I came back later and restarted the services thinking they'd randomly failed, but they actually were stopped and the system was hung waiting for a process to terminate.

I just did the update to 26.1.2_5 and the same thing happened - the system would give the "rebooting" dialog but never reboot. 

I used ssh to get in and brought up the menu to reboot manually, and it indicated it was stuck waiting for process 137.  I used "ps aux | grep 137" to identify the process (python) and then had to use "kill -9 137" because kill alone would not do it.

Then the system immediately rebooted and now it's running as normal.

Did you catch which python process that was (for a hint at the component)? Got any other installed plugins?


Cheers,

No, I did not know how to do that, but here is a list of plugins I have installed.

os-acme-client
os-caddy
os-cpu-microcode-intel
os-crowdsec   
os-ddclient
os-etpro-telemetry
os-maltrail

Ok. Crowdsec was always one of those not-rebooting culprits, but I don't think it has a Python process since it's written in Go. Not sure but it's good to have at least a bit of data on file.


Thanks,
Franco

Monit can do both. Im using this for HAProxy, otherwise I would have to manually start HAProxy after every reboot.
