Rclone v1.45 --rc and --cache-tmp-upload-path appear to be incompatible

Suspected Bug
1

If I try to run rlcone mount with both --rc and --cache-tmp-upload-path, rclone dies with the error

2019/01/25 14:35:59 Failed to start remote control: start server failed: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:5572: bind: address already in use

even though it previously said

It’s telling you that something is already running on that port and you’d need to pick a different one.

I’m guessing you have more than 1 rclone process or didn’t kill it.

3

No, that’s just it, I don’t have another rclone process running.

After I get this error, I can start rclone with either --rc or --cache-tmp-upload-path, but not both.

I tried this multiple times, even moving to different machines. There are no other rclone processes running

If you’ll notice, I ran:
rclone with --rc and --cache-tmp-upload-path at 14:35
rclone with --rc at 14:36
rclone with --cache-tmp-upload-path at 14:41

neither of the runs at 14:36 or 14:41 complained about something already bound to the address.

It fails to start because the rc address is in use. The error is right there:

Example of both options not working and working with a port change.

It seems like a bug to me because it starts the webserver and then looks like it tries to start it a second time

2019/01/25 18:16:13 Failed to start remote control: start server failed: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:5573: bind: address already in use

I tried it again, this time without --daemon. It looks like it is a combination of --daemon, --rc and --cache-tmp-upload-path. This is the same as the first example, without --daemon.

It doesn’t start twice as it has to start to try to bind to the port and if the port is in use, it fails.

If you are running with --daemon, are you leaving some orphaned processes?

ps -ef | grep rclone

and you can see if something is running and hanging out.

No, there is no other process – I have checked. I can run with daemon and get the error. There will be no rclone processes running. I can immediately start rclone without --daemon and it will run. I can kill that and then try again with --daemon, --rc, --cache-tmp-upload-path and it will fail again. I can repeat this indefinitely.

I think you should be able to duplicate it yourself.

What is your operating system?

OK. Thanks. No need to open a new bug report then.
