Active Shell Session | Unable to close

[comingup]

Since Feb 14th, we've had an open Shell listed in Tasks that I'm unable to close. I do not see any active users in any of our nodes besides myself. Not sure what to do, but I would like to remove it.

Below are screenshots that show what pops up when I try to stop the session: 'Unable to open file - No such file or directory' followed by an error on the status screen.

Node and username redacted.

You should be able to tell whether there is actually an open session since Feb 14th by issuing who while logged in as root on the node. If there is actually a corresponding session you should investigate what is running (and why), with ps -A | grep <tty-id> and with ps auxwf | grep <tty-id> to see what depends on what. If you can find a process, and if it isn't running anything important you should be able to kill it with the kill <pid> command.

Nonetheless, this is still a rather bizarre error. It seems the underlying log file disappeared for some reason which should prompt it to display an error, not indicate that there is still a running terminal process. Which pve version are you running? pveversion -v

Yeah I ran who and there isn't anyone else logged in besides me. I've been having other issues getting the firewall to work as well which I'll be creating threads for as weeks of searching hasn't helped me yet.
