launcher/monitor not restarting

This happens at least once a day for someone (now happening with me)

I cant restart the monitor, so i tried restarting the launcher, but it doesnt start neither. Nothing fishy in the logs, whenever i try to start the launcher i get a log like this:

2014-10-06 11:50:28:  BEGIN - LAPRO3067\laszlo.sebo
2014-10-06 11:50:28:  Deadline Launcher 6.2 [v6.2.1.46 R  (a0b9182de)]
2014-10-06 11:50:29:  Launcher Thread - Launcher thread initializing...
2014-10-06 11:50:29:  Updating Repository options
2014-10-06 11:50:29:    - Remote Administration: enabled
2014-10-06 11:50:29:    - Automatic Updates: enabled
2014-10-06 11:50:29:  Launcher Thread - Remote administration is enabled
2014-10-06 11:50:29:  Launcher Thread - Launcher thread listening on port 17060

Then the launcher shuts down… Any ideas?

I usually tell people to reboot, but in a lot of cases thats a major pita (3+ maxs open, etc)

As far as i can tell, the deadline port for 6 (17060) is not being used :

The next time this happens, try running the launcher or monitor with the “-console” command line argument. This will dump out any print statements to the console, which can be helpful if there is an error that isn’t showing up in the log for some reason.

Well this is weird!:

And the monitor:

Exception on Startup: Python Error: ImportError : DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. (Python.Runtime.PythonException)

Deadline Monitor will now exit.

Ended up having to reinstall 6.x on the machine. Maybe some conflict with 7?

That is weird. We’re not aware of any conflicts between 6 and 7, but glad to hear that a reinstall of 6 fixed it.
