Your problem and situation are still not really clear, at least not to me. You are talking about having to travel to your boat when you cannot reboot, and about something in the corner of the screen. Can I assume that you have a computer with openplotter on your boat then, and you are using some remote access solution with a VNC viewer to connect to it? How are you trying to reboot it? Can you show a screen dump? When something is hanging, how are you certain it is the pypilot service? Can you see any processes in the process list that relate to pypilot (ps -ef|grep -i pypilot). When it is hanging, can you still ping the machine or start an ssh session to it? It might be that you shut it down instead of rebooting, but you are led astray by the VNC viewer that shows the echo the last screen image. Normally I reboot with sudo reboot, never needed the -f option.
