The OctopusDeploy Tentacle service failed to re-start

We setup windows scheduler task to re-start the Tentacle service on some target servers but few of them failed to start the Tentacle service automatically. The errors were as below

Hi Eric,

Thank you for getting in touch. Where is this message coming from?

Could you please send me the log files from a Tentacle that fails to start?

Also could you send me the command and/or script that the scheduled task runs along with the output of the scheduled task?

Does your scheduled task wait for the service to stop before attempting to start it again?

Just so I get a clear picture, why do you need to restart the Tentacles?
