Thank you so much for a quick reply. I have tried logging in ..... su weewx..... and it asks for a password. This weewx user was created by the apt install so I don't know the password and "weewx" ain't it hah. I searched for the password to no avail :(. I could try making a new user weewx and set my own password ? -- James Barber, MD Douglas, GA Cell: (912) 292-4064
