Not sure why this aimed at me, I have never had a problem with the weewx-multi script under Raspbian Stretch or Buster, start/stop/restart/reload all work as expected. Though I only use setup.py installs. I don't have the skills to debug further. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
