It looks like whatever receptor is on your execution node is not actually receptor

I.e. those extra parameters like “–max-workers” is not part of receptor binary

Can you ssh into your machine and run `which receptor`, what is the output?

the playbooks will install receptor binary into /usr/bin by default

do you have a receptor in /usr/bin?

maybe delete that other “receptor” (it’s not our receptor)
