Restart Pat Server

 

Hi Group,
Need to restart pat server. I usually have a node running but disconnected the node to run pat but quick stats says pat server not running. It's a build-a-pi and very familiar with it and all looks fine.
I'm logged in
Grid showing
Pat menu Settings default and looks fine.
Thanks for your input!!
Jay
 

sudo systemctl restart pat@$USER

THANKS Jason but it only works when I'm NOT logged into pat. The command will not start the sever when logged into pat. This seems every odd. Also when I'm not logged in, I have to start the http manually. That works but sending and receiving are not functional since the call sign is NOCALL.?

The bpq node that I run is closed and a power down reboot of the pi.?

What do you think?
tnx, Jay
 

After you log into Pat, try starting from the command line with
pat http
and post what errors it throws.

So there is an issue with the config file after you log in. Are you logging in by manually by editing the config file or using Pat Menu?

I'm logging in using Pat menu
The config file in Pat looks the same as the default and that always has my call sign in it.
Where is the other config file that you are referring to??
 

It's possibly a bug in pat menu. I sent you a private message to ask a couple more questions.

Working with Jay offline, we have this solved. The "&" character in a password will cause the Pat Menu login feature to fail. An has been created.
