    Using only the dedicated handler (I use on all 30 domains only the dedicated handler) drives plesk nuts, restart via CLI fails, restart over the backend works.

    root@server:/# plesk bin php_handler --list | grep -E plesk.*fpm | awk -F" " '{ print $1 }'
    plesk-php83-fpm
    plesk-php83-fpm-dedicated
    root@server:/# service plesk-php83-fpm restart
    Job for plesk-php83-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
    See "systemctl status plesk-php83-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xeu plesk-php83-fpm.service" for details.
    root@server:/# service plesk-php83-fpm-dedicated restart
    Failed to restart plesk-php83-fpm-dedicated.service: Unit plesk-php83-fpm-dedicated.service not found.
    root@server:/# service plesk-php83-fpm-dedicated restart
