What you have presented (other than the WeeWX daemon failing to start) is
expected behaviour. When you run WeeWX directly by invoking weewxd from the
command line you are running WeeWX as a foreground process (as opposed to a
background process when WeeWX is run as a daemon). When you close the
terminal in which you invoked this foreground process the foreground
process is closed (that is why WeeWX is normally run as a daemon). As part
of the WeeWX foreground process closing the process shuts down any
sub-ordinate threads, one of which is the GatewayCollector thread used by
the Ecowitt gateway device service. The corresponding entry in log extract
is not an error, rather it is informational telling you the thread was
closed in a controlled manner.
What you need to do is to determine why the WeeWX daemon is not
starting/running. To do this make sure all WeeWX instances are closed. Edit
weewx.conf and set debug = 1. Start the WeeWX daemon and monitor the WeeWX
log. Let WeeWX run for at least two archive periods, or until it encounters
an error, and then post a log extract showing the entire WeeWX startup
through until the error occurs or the two archive periods have passed.
