Glad to hear it was something more or less straight forward.

 Very possible. We've had issues with pynotify on various platforms
 and with various python versions. We'll look into your combination.

Nope. Don't worry about the diagnostics issue. It's just a mistake on
our part.

Hmmm..... could you try stopping your server, moving or deleting the
"var/log" directory, and restarting? You would then have a clean view
of what's going on. If there is still anything that seems troubling,
feel free to send it (on or off list). But the two you mention aren't
critical:

This says you tried to run "bin/omero admin start" while the server
was already running.

This is a bizarre Java issue, which unfortunately we can't get rid
of. For more information, see:
