update - my ecowitt instance crashed out on me during a several minute network outage while I was updating firmware on the router/switch/ap so I'm trying this solution to see how well that works. Thanks.
(not a bug in the gw1000 driver - it did exactly what it's configured to do. It tried 3x with 2 sec in between. An alternate workaround would be to try 1000x with a minute in between to basically get through any reasonable network outages for the LAN, but I want to try the systemd method as a more generic fix) On Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 7:56:12 AM UTC-7 gary....@gmail.com wrote: > I have added these lines to my weewx service file for just such an > instance. > Add under StandardError=journal+console entry in the [Service] stanza > > Restart=on-failure > RestartSec=30 > > Restarts weewx after waiting for 30 seconds to allow whatever interfered > to (hopefully) clear. > > On Monday, March 25, 2024 at 6:26:44 PM UTC-4 vince wrote: > >> Perhaps this setting (link) >> <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/564443/what-does-restart-on-abort-mean-in-a-systemd-service> >> is >> something to try if you want to experiment and let us know if it works… >> >> On Monday, March 25, 2024 at 3:11:41 PM UTC-7 Thomas Hackler wrote: >> >>> thank you for the answer, then it was maybe soemthing wrong with the wifi >>> >>> does it make sense to increase the attempts before exit ? >>> >>> I try to find something to check if the process is running >>> I have some experience with monit, so maybe I find an example or >>> anything else >>> >>> >>> vince schrieb am Montag, 25.
