As best as I recall events of a couple of weeks ago, with a long string, I would type the restart command, but subsequently typing the status command revealed that the restart did not occur. I shortened the string twice, and finally the system restarted.
system configuration: = weewx 5.0.1 installed on a Dell Vostro 200, running on UPS = Vostro 200 has fresh install of Debian 12, and is dedicated to weewx = installation via weewx Debian procedure (not pip) = Davis Vantage Pro2 wireless, six or seven years old = Davis USB datalogger, connected directly to Vostro USB port = upload at 5 minute intervals to www.alysonwonderland.org (shared hosting on hostgator) I shall be glad to run any diagnostics you wish.
