2.4.0p12	Checkmk Community, Checkmk Pro, Checkmk Ultimate, Checkmk Cloud, Checkmk Ultimate MT

While running the command omd cp or omd mv, the following crash could occur:

-|     self.sock.connect(str(paths.omd_root.joinpath(AUTOMATION_HELPER_SOCKET)))
-| FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This regression affects Checkmk version 2.4 and later.

For users who cannot update immediately, the issue can be mitigated by disabling the automation helper.
