Monica: you're going to have to do a little investigation. Take a look in /home/weatherpi/backup_weewx.sh. Anything in there that could cause a weekly reboot?
Also the path /etc/cron.weekly is a directory. You'll have to look inside for any files. Could any of them cause a weekly boot? How about the file /home/weatherpi/camera_image1.sh? I encourage you to do a little investigative forensics on your computer. It's hard to diagnose these remotely. I could be wrong, but I really doubt this is a weewx problem. It's something specific to your computer. -tk On Sat, Aug 31, 2024 at 5:05 PM Monica Mulholland <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for that.
