Problem description

Had This Error Occured Multiple Times. Mainly After Using A 3rd-Party App Called Termux Terminal Widgets. To Run System Level Commands Like free, df, du, fastfetch, uname, uptime, Etc.

At First, The Termux App Used To Crash When Trying To Opening The Error Page. Despite That, I Tried To Run termux-api -service On The Background, But Still, The Issue Persisted. But After A Termux App Update, The Termux App Crash On Opening Error Page Was Fixed.

Now That I Can See The Actual Error Of Termux API Mechanism, I Saw Connection Refused Error. I Tried To Run termux-api-service, But Still This Error Exists.

But In Both Cases Despite The Errors Existing, The Widgets Showed Exact Expected Output Regardless Of Error.

Logs Attached Below.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create A Widget Using Termux Terminal Widget App That Runs System Level Command.
2. See Error.

Expected behavior

No Error Occurance. And Connection To Service Be Accepted.
