Question

I am running a bch full node and a btc

full node. I renamed the executables of each so I could tell them apart in top.

bch-qt refuses to run when bchd is running, and btc-qt refuses to run when btc-qt is running. They fail to get locks, which implies to me that the gui interface contains a copy of the daemon. Are there versions where the daemon just keeps running, and you can start and stop the gui when you feel like looking at something? Makes more sense to me ...

Sorry if this is a stupid newbie question. I'm new to the full node thing.

The the qt version is exactly that, a daemon with a ui. The non-qt version is the same daemon for headless/cli installations. You can just set the qt version options to minimize to tray or background or whatever on close and leave it running.

they use the same ports and same folders so obviou...

I moved the btc node to a different port, so that problem was easily solved. Since I am the only person with access to either of them, and I know what port it is on, that solved *THAT* problem. The remaining problem is that, from ~bch, ./bin/bch-qt will not run if ./bin/bchd is running ... because the gui IS the full node instead of TALKING TO the full node. If I take down the daemon for bch, I can run the gui for bch, and if I take down the daemon for btc I can run the gui for btc. I just have to remember to bring the daemon back up when I close the gui. Maybe I'll just make a script so that when I run the gui, it closes the daemon, and when it terminates, it restarts it.

they use the same ports and same folders so obviously that's not going to play well with each other. specify different ports and datadir in conf just like you would when you want to run different copies or testnets of the same coin.
