Execute these commands sequentially and return ALL output:

1. Kill any existing vllm processes:
```
pkill -f vllm 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
```

2. Remove old log:
```
rm -f /home/ubuntu/vllm_server_log.txt
```

3. Launch the server:
```
nohup /home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/python3 /home/ubuntu/launch_server.py > /home/ubuntu/vllm_server_log.txt 2>&1 &
echo "LAUNCHED PID=$!"
```

4. Wait 120 seconds:
```
sleep 120
```

5. Read the server log:
```
cat /home/ubuntu/vllm_server_log.txt
```

6. Check GPU:
```
nvidia-smi
```

7. If the log has "unrecognized arguments" error, also run:
```
ls -la /home/ubuntu/vllm_env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/vllm_omni/model_executor/stage_configs/qwen3_tts.yaml
/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/vllm-omni serve --help 2>&1 | head -80
find /home/ubuntu/vllm_env -name "qwen3_tts*" 2>/dev/null
```

Return ALL output from every command.

I'll execute these commands sequentially. Let me start with steps 1-3 (kill, remove log, launch server).

The user wants me to execute a series of commands sequentially. Let me start with the first few commands, then wait for the server to start, then check the logs and GPU status.

Let me execute them step by step.


text: Server launched with PID=2084395. Now waiting 120 seconds for it to start up.


text: Now reading the server log and checking GPU status.


text:
The outputs appear empty. Let me check if the log file exists and if the process is still running.

Both commands returned empty output. Let me try again - the log file might be empty, or there could be an issue with the shell. Let me check.


text:
Something is off with the shell — it's returning empty output. Let me try a fresh shell.

The shell seems to be returning empty output for everything. This is unusual. Let me try a simpler command to check if the shell is working.


text: The shell is consistently returning empty output for everything with 0ms execution time. This is very strange. Let me try using a different working directory to see if that helps.


text:
The shell seems to be swallowing all output. Let me use the file reading tool to check the log file and terminals directly.

The shell continues to return empty output. This is bizarre. The commands are executing (exit code 0) but producing no output at all. This seems like a shell issue where stdout is not being captured.

Let me try to read the terminal file directly to see if there's output there. Or let me try to read the log file using the Read tool instead.


text:
The log file is empty. Let me check if the process is actually running and examine what `launch_server.py` does.

The log file is empty. That means the server process might have died quickly, or the nohup didn't work as expected. The shell is also not producing any output. Let me check the most recent terminal files to see what's happening.

Actually, the shell is giving "0 ms" execution times for everything, which suggests it's not actually running the commands. Let me check if the process exists by reading the terminal files.

Let me try reading the launch_server.py to understand what it does, and also check terminal files for clues.


text:
The shell seems to have issues with output capture. Let me try a completely fresh approach.

The shell tool is consistently returning empty output. This might be a bug or issue with the current shell session. Let me try a different approach - let me use a new shell session with a fresh command.

Actually, the issue might be that the shell process from the first `pkill -f vllm` command killed the shell itself, since the shell command might contain "vllm" in its command line. That could have broken subsequent shell calls. Let me try resetting.

Wait, but the first command worked and returned "DONE: killed vllm processes"... no, wait. It actually returned empty output. All shells have been returning empty output. Hmm.

Let me check the terminal files from the earlier server launch attempt instead. Looking at the log file, it's empty, which suggests either the process was killed immediately or something else went wrong. I'm realizing that `launch_server.py` runs `pkill -f vllm` at the start, but since the script itself is invoked as `python3 launch_server.py` rather than something containing "vllm" in the process name, that shouldn't be killing itself.

Actually, wait—the nohup command uses `/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/python3`, which does contain "vllm" in the path, so the pkill command would match and kill the process. But the initial pkill should have completed before the server even launched. Looking back at the shell outputs, the first command returned exit code 0 with blank output in 365ms, which doesn't align with a `sleep 2` command taking that long. Something's off with the timing or output here.

The fourth command with `sleep 120` did take the expected 128 seconds, so at least that one executed properly. I think the issue is that `pkill -f vllm` is matching the process path itself. Let me try a different approach—I'll check the process list directly instead of relying on pkill, and make sure the echo statements are actually producing output.


text:
The server process is NOT running — only a leftover resource tracker from a previous run. The log is empty because `launch_server.py` line 6 runs `pkill -f vllm` which kills itself (since its own path contains `/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/`). Let me get the remaining diagnostic info.

Ok, the shell is working now. The vllm server is NOT running - only a leftover multiprocessing resource tracker from a previous run. The PID 2084395 that was launched doesn't appear in the process list. The log file is empty.

The issue is that `launch_server.py` runs `pkill -f vllm` on line 6, which would kill itself since the python process path is `/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/python3` which contains "vllm". So the script kills itself before it can do anything.

Wait, but the log file is empty - not even the "Using stage config" line.

So the script died before reaching line 19. The `subprocess.run(["pkill", "-f", "vllm"])` at line 6 would send SIGTERM to any process with "vllm" in its command line. The script itself was launched as `/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/python3 /home/ubuntu/launch_server.py`, which contains "vllm" in the path. So pkill would kill the script itself. Now I need to check the GPU status and run some diagnostics since the server isn't actually running.


text:
Now let me check those leftover GPU processes.

Now I have all the output. Let me also check what processes are still using the GPU (VLLM::Worker processes with PIDs 2076773 and 2076782). These must be from a previous launch that wasn't fully killed. Let me check those processes.

Also, the original shell issue: the first few commands returned empty output. But later commands from `/tmp` worked fine. This is strange but the important thing is I now have all the information.

Let me also check - there are VLLM::Worker processes on the GPU using ~25GB of memory. These are zombie GPU processes from a previous run. The `pkill -f vllm` would have killed the parent process but these workers might still be running.

Now I'm ready to compile everything for the user.

Here is the complete output from all commands:

---

**Step 1: Kill vllm processes**
The `pkill -f vllm` command ran (exit code 0), but the initial shell had output capture issues. The process PID 2084395 was launched but **killed itself** — see explanation below.

**Step 2: Remove old log**
`rm -f /home/ubuntu/vllm_server_log.txt` — completed.

**Step 3: Launch server**
```
LAUNCHED PID=2084395
```

**Step 4: Wait 120 seconds** — completed.

**Step 5: Server log (`/home/ubuntu/vllm_server_log.txt`)**
**File is EMPTY.** The server never produced any output.

**Root cause:** `launch_server.py` line 6 runs `subprocess.run(["pkill", "-f", "vllm"])`, which matches the script's own process path (`/home/ubuntu/vllm_env/bin/python3`) since it contains "vllm". The script kills itself before writing anything to the log.

**Step 6: nvidia-smi**

**Summary of issues:**
1. **Server never started** — `launch_server.py` suicides via its own `pkill -f vllm` because the python binary path contains "vllm".
2. **Orphaned GPU workers** — PIDs 2076773 and 2076782 are using 25.3 GB VRAM and 100% CPU from a previous run. These need to be killed (`kill -9 2076773 2076782`) before a new server can launch cleanly.
3. To fix `launch_server.py`, the pkill on line 6 should exclude itself, e.g.: `subprocess.run(["pkill", "-f", "vllm-omni serve"])` or use `os.getpid()` to exclude.
