Failed to spawn processing thread for new shell!

[linux365]

Hi users!

I have a problem trying to log in to telnet to my switch. It only allows me an active session at the same time. If someone else tries to log in, the message "Failed to spawn processing thread for new shell!"

[linux365]

I already restarted the process, but I don't want to restart the switch because I have it in production and it can affect many users. I wanted to see if it solved otherwise without restarting it.

You can try this if the serial console still works on the MSM:

Restart the SSH process using the command: restart process exsshd

Switch model, EXOS release (or is it EXOS indeed?)? Never seen it before.
