FWIW, you can always kill the processes directly ala "kill 4835 4847" if you really need to stop it, but typically this is never necessary.
Gary - I would agree that 'stop' does not work on a debian10 system but 'start' works fine. Same problem exists regardless of whether you use the init.d file directly or if you use systemctl to let systemd control the processes. Start works. Stop silently does nothing. Nothing I could see in the logs to indicate that it even tried to shut the processes down. - One other tidbit is that you need to be consistent re: which way you try to control the processes. On a debian10 system using a dpkg install, bootups will use systemd to run the legacy init.d file start sequence. If you 'also' manually start via init.d commands using the pre-systemd instructions on the wiki you'll get 'two' sets of processes running, neither knowing the other exists. But regardless, I can't find an incantation of systemctl or the init.d commands that actually tries to stop the processes. - Lastly, if you manually kill the processes then use systemctl to try to (re)start them, it reports failure but it actually worked and the multiple weewx processes indeed run. Same for init.d - if you kill the processes and run the init.d manually to start, it silently returns (having succeeded) but then if you run ./init.d/weewx status it reports the processes are not running (although they 'are'). Speculate that's something to do with the old pid files init.d files typically use, but I didn't dig further into that. Bottom line - I think the weewx-multi thing needs some refactoring for the systemd world. Uncertain why exactly a debian10 system uses an init.d file for weewx anyway (for a dpkg installation) but it might just be a timing thing for when systemd started to take over the world. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
