Mike- Error message: "Please ensure that the daemon is not already running" Scenario: "The daemon is running" You can't run two instances of FRR at the same time (unless they're namespaced, etc etc). If you want to restart it you need to kill the existing process(es) and launch a new one. Quentin On Tue, Jan 21, 2020 at 8:13 AM Mike Mazarick < mike.mazarick@virtudatacenter.com> wrote:

I did some looking. The daemon is running and the file that controls it (/var/snap/frr/87bgpd.id) is a zero length file.

-HELP!!

I want to thank Eric Frazier for assistance getting me this far by using “sudo snap install frr” and Phil Wiggins for pointing out PPA problems from my previous efforts (before I was on this mailing list). I asked Phil for the name of the command, but I figured it out.
