Thanks for the script. I changed it to be runnable from raspberry pi
(Debian 10.4)
#!/bin/sh
# Shell script to restart the weatherLogger wifi device in the Davis
Vantage Pro 2 in the Harbormaster Building
# The weather logger tends to disconnect from network every 4 days causing
weewx to crash in a waiting state
# Currently set to run by rycweather as a cron job once a day at 8:07 am.
# check to see if weatherLogger is connected on Harbormaster vlan
/bin/ping -c 1 WiFiLogger.fritz.box
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
weatherLoggerStatus="weatherLogger is online"
# Using curl
curl --connect-timeout 5 --fail
http://WiFiLogger.fritz.box/admin/restart
# wait to launch and load javascript function of URL
sleep 30
else
weatherLoggerStatus="weatherLogger is OFFLINE"
fi
# Check weatherLogger is connected again
/bin/ping -c 1 WiFiLogger.fritz.box
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
newWeatherLoggerStatus="weatherlogger is back online"
else
newWeatherLoggerStatus="weatherLogger is OFFLINE after restart"
fi
echo "$weatherLoggerStatus and after restart $newWeatherLoggerStatus" |
