Starting zap in Daemon: Handling restarts

[enterscanman]

Hiya,

I have zap on an ec2 instance, running in daemon mode using:
"/usr/local/bin/ZAP_2.12.0/zap.sh -daemon -config api.disablekey=true"

After investigating some "no_implementor" errors I've noticed the logs occasionally recommending restarts like the below:

WARN  org.zaproxy.zap.extension.autoupdate.ExtensionAutoUpdate - It's recommended to restart ZAP. Not all add-ons were successfully uninstalled: [[id=network, version=0.3.0]]

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/zaproxy/zap/extension/quickstart/NewsItem
at org.zaproxy.zap.extension.quickstart.ExtensionQuickStart$1.run(ExtensionQuickStart.java:172) ~[?:?]
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:587) ~[?:?]
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:520) ~[?:?]
... 1 more

which leads to a 'no_implementor' error when I start a spider scan but everything is ok after a restart of zaproxy.

Any suggestions to avoid the restart or auto-restart?

Will -addonupdate help with this?

Hi.

You would have to run with -silent, but that would prevent updates. I'd
suggest a weekly release which has those issues fixed.

Best regards.
