Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/misiektoja/instagram_monitor/issues/68

I always launch into console mode with the web dashboard enabled.
One user is monitored.
That user shows in the web dashboard.
I click Recheck All and this shows in the log, nothing shows on console:

I ordered the messages so they read top to bottom

11:34:50
Recheck All: Recheck requires at least 1 monitored user
11:34:50
Recheck all triggered (will override hours range for the next cycle)

I then tried Start All and it did initiate that

[DEBUG 17:38:04] UI Data Update: monitoring=True
* Recheck All: Staggering 1 targets with 1 hour, 30 minutes interval (jitter: 5 seconds)

* Planned poll times (processed alphabetically):
  - XXX @ ~17:38:39 (in 2 seconds)

Timestamp:                              Fri 20 Feb 2026, 17:38:37

But then when I hit the Recheck All button, it worked without the error about needing at least 1 user

* Staggered start interrupted for KK by recheck request!
And then it started checking....

I'll add that if that 'requires at least 1 monitored user" message occurs, when it returns it should skip the next message that says "Recheck all triggered". OR, technically, the 'all triggered' message should occur before the call to recheck_all_targets, which puts up the warning about needed a monitored account.

From:

            # Trigger all
            recheck_all_targets()
            if CHECK_POSTS_IN_HOURS_RANGE:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered (will override hours range for the next cycle)"
            else:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered"
            success = True
            log_activity(msg)

To:

            # Trigger all
            if CHECK_POSTS_IN_HOURS_RANGE:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered (will override hours range for the next cycle)"
            else:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered"
            log_activity(msg)
            recheck_all_targets()
            success = True

I only have one account, so why is it hitting the 'else' on the code below and entering 'trigger all' mode.

    def api_trigger_check():  # type: ignore
        global MANUAL_CHECK_TRIGGERED
        data = flask_request.get_json(silent=True) or {}  # type: ignore
        target = data.get('target')

        if target:
            target = target.strip().lower()
            with WEB_DASHBOARD_DATA_LOCK:  # type: ignore
                if target in WEB_DASHBOARD_RECHECK_EVENTS:
                    WEB_DASHBOARD_RECHECK_EVENTS[target].set()
                    if CHECK_POSTS_IN_HOURS_RANGE:
                        msg = "Recheck triggered (will override hours range for the next cycle)"
                    else:
                        msg = "Recheck triggered"
                    success = True
                else:
                    msg = f"Recheck failed: target not running"
                    success = False
            log_activity(msg, user=target)
        else:
            # Trigger all
            recheck_all_targets()
            if CHECK_POSTS_IN_HOURS_RANGE:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered (will override hours range for the next cycle)"
            else:
                msg = "Recheck all triggered"
            success = True
            log_activity(msg)

Back to original issue. If I load up in console mode with 1 account and enter web dashboard:

Dashboard tab:

Top right says 'monitoring (1)
Monitored targets shows the account with status 'waiting', which is correct

Targets tab:

Manage Targets should the 1 account with status 'waiting'
- If I click recheck button next to target, I get a popup saying "recheck failed: target not running"

So it looks like everything is correct, but it doesn't think a target is active.

Targets tab:

If I click stop button, popup says "Stopped monitoring: [Account Name]" and console follows
Start button restarts as expected
- But on console it says "* Tracking XXX (and others)... next check for XXX planned at ~21:10:56 (in 7 hours, 18 minutes)"
- Why '(and others)'? This is like above where I reported it seems to think there are multiple accounts

Are accounts launched from command line different from accounts monitored in web dashboard?
