Failed to start AlmostVPN - stale PIDs

Description

I had to force a reboot due to an unrelated issue.

Now when I attempt to start AlmostVPN, I get the following error: "Almost VPN is not running - Stale PID's file"

Where is this file and how can I remove it?

Is it possible for AlmostVPN to automatically remove this file when this condition is detected?

Thanks in advance, very impressive improvements so far.

It looks like password you enter for your local account either not stored or incorrect. I am not sure how it could happen. If it is not stored, you should not be able to press "Start" button and you should not be able to enter incorrect password. Is it possible that you have changed you local host password lately?

Try this. Start "/Applications/Utitlities/Keychain Access" and see if AlmostVPN keychain has sudo@almostvpn entry.

I have exactly the same nagging stale PIDs problem. Is there anything that can be done about it?
