Re: [weewx-user] BASIC question regarding config file

[Jim W.]

Yep! That's it. THANKS! I installed it using the DEB package. Later I was 
warned away from it but I had already got it running so I never 
re-installed it via the setup.py

Re: [weewx-user] BASIC question regarding config file

[Macha]

I think it depends on the way you installed it. With my Pi, it shows it 
running as a python task. I always do ..

ps aux | grep wee

.. and it shows the command launching weewx, something like ...

root  4193 13.9  5.4  78352 48232 ?Sl   Sep06 398:00 python 
./bin/weewxd weewx.conf

I use it in a Cron job to reboot the Pi on the odd occasion I get a USB 
lockup and weewx bombs out. Weewx is launched from a @reboot script.

Re: [weewx-user] BASIC question regarding config file

[Andrew Milner]

Or you can force a .conf reload with a hup 
"

You can tell a running instance of weewx to reread its configuration file 
by sending it the HUP signal. First run ps to find out the Process ID (PID) 
number of the instance, then send it the HUP signal: 

ps -a  # Note the PID of the weewxd processkill -HUP *pid*  # Send it a 
HUP signal

Note that this *only* rereads the configuration file. It will not reload 
any code.

You need to stop and restart weewx for it to pick up the changes in
weewx.conf
