### Issue Summary There’s 1 site that is always started upon Local starting up - and even gets started if it was manually stopped but a different site was manually started. It’s been happening for maybe 2-4 weeks and even after updating Local itself this morning. #### Replication 1min demo: [2021-06-02 Local site keeps...](https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gunz9ny) #### System Details - Which version of Local is being used? Local v5.10.5+5403 - What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used? Mac 11.4 [local-lightning.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/dgKD5RGcbEO0YFJ6oD8hhaE1ypE.log) (27.7 KB) ---

Thank you so much for that video, it helps a lot to see the issue in context! For that site that stays “on” does it seem like a UI bug (ie, Local’s icon is wrong), or is the site actually always started? For example, after quitting Local and then starting it again, when you click the “Open Site” button for the `calc` site, does the correct site open in a browser? I’d be curious to know what processes are running on the various ports that Local is using. Can you open a terminal and run this command which will list the various processes that are listening on ports `10000-19999` ```auto sudo lsof -i:10000-19999; sudo lsof -tnP -i:10000-19999 | xargs -n 1 ps -p ``` Here’s what my terminal looks like with a couple of Local sites running: ![Image 2021-06-02 at 11.57.45 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/4/4f0b504846b5c6fbce99ca8b87f1ebb011640edf.jpeg) ---

It’s just a UI issue: [https://share.getcloudapp.com/rRujvg8B](https://share.getcloudapp.com/rRujvg8B) ---

Hey @cliff – From the sounds of things, another user seems to have zeroed in on this possibly being an issue with a cloned site: > **[Local UI shows cloned sites as running even when stopped](https://community.localwp.com/t/local-shows-sites-running-upon-opening-the-app-even-when-i-didnt-start-them/25783/4)** > > I experienced this also on a recent version of Local. I found that there was some seemingly errant data in the sites.json file entry for the site that was appearing as running when Local was restarted. This consisted of additional name/value... By chance, is the site that is always running some sort of Clone? ---
