[Help/qbittorrent-nox/Linux] "qBittorrent is already running" (piefed.blahaj.zone)

SOLVED: Thank you @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de

I just upgraded and rebooted my Arch Linux system like I have done a gazillion times before. I was firing up my various services and servers - qBittorrent-nox among them - and I wasn't able to qbittorrent-nox -d it. This has never happened before. An error message says that I cannot launch qBittorrent-nox again, because it is already running, which it isn't. I ps -e | grep torrent-ed, systemctl list --all-ed, but there really is no qBittorrent-nox running.

Has this happened to anybody here? Please advise.

Look for a lockfile in its config directory. Just delete it if it's there. It can be left over when qbittorrent isn't shut down correctly.
