The service tailwatchd appears to be down.

Hi there, I am receiving email alert saying the tailwatchd is down.



Dec 08 16:31:37  systemd[1]: Starting tailwatchd...
Dec 08 16:31:37  restartsrv_tailwatchd[9700]: tailwatchd is already running (tailwatchd) with PID 17294 by root
Dec 08 16:31:37  systemd[1]: tailwatchd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
Dec 08 16:31:37  systemd[1]: Failed to start tailwatchd.
Dec 08 16:31:37  systemd[1]: Unit tailwatchd.service entered failed state.
Dec 08 16:31:37  systemd[1]: tailwatchd.service failed.

Then I check using /scripts/restartsrv_tailwatchd --status. It says it is down and so I restart cpanel and force update cpanel Then the tailwatchd status is as follows:


tailwatchd is enabled

After a few minutes and recheck the status, TailWatchd is down again. How can I fix this? Thanks.

never mind. I have found that there are multiple process checking using ps aux |grep tail I killed the process manually in WHM and tailwatchd restarted sucessfully.
