In case there are others out there using monit, this is my new working config for weewx (avoiding use of PID altogether): check program weewx with path "/usr/bin/systemctl --quiet is-active weewx" if status != 0 then alert if status != 0 then exec "/usr/bin/systemctl start weewx.service" if 10 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout Tom Keffer schrieb am Samstag, 9.
