I'm curious if the curl command works to restart WiFiLogger2. I first tried using the lynx command line browser and it did not resolve the page correctly and didn't restart. I assumed that was because the restart page contains some javascript and lynx doesn't support javascript. I then switched to Safari, which has the downside of needing a GUI.
So does curl work in the terminal script? That's a better solution if it works.
