Supervising process XXX which is not our child Systemd Error

I could see one of process error in systemd “Supervising Process XXX which is not out child”. Did not understand what it mean by supervising process.?

systemctl status shiny-server.service

Supervising Process

The first copy, managed by systemd, is still running. That’s why you’re seeing the EADDRINUSE error–the systemd-managed instance of XXX service is already listening on that port.

Here is the situation that one of previous version service is still running on same port and new service was started with same port number however old process was supervising newly started service as child process.

Solution

Kill previous version of process using below command

# ps -aux |grep <PID>
#kill -9 <PID>

Delete previous version of PID file if it is still exists

start new service
