Yeah, I didn't realize at first that that was what was causing it.

Regardless, though, if you're going to have the serverMesg call, and
scripts that make use of it, either the serverMesg call needs to
check that nightly is already running and bail, or (better, IMO) it
needs to restart nightly from the beginning.

If there wasn't a reason to start it from the beginning, I wouldn't
be asking.
