Revision history [back]

I had the same problem of a rosout process that keeps respawning. The problem as po1 said is that roscore is running, but finding it takes some effort. 'ps -e' doesn't show it, but if you do 'ps aux' you'll see it (along with a couple of other roscore related processes along for the ride). You need to kill them all
