any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

Can you post a code snippet?
And just so you know, you can use a codeblock in comments like this:

```python3
<paste in your code here>
.```

Just remove the dot at the end, that's just so I can post this with correct formatting

Hm, can't really figure out where the "Permission denied" comes from. The other error seems to be caused by you trying to stop the script. But it would probably work with sudo.

If you want, try to debug your script and go through line by line until you get the error again.

Any updates?
