There's something going on blocking the shutdown sometimes, but I just 'kill -9' the darn thing when it doesn't respond quickly enough. > or perhaps you need to do some black magic systemctl voodoo: > and maybe slaughter a chicken just for good measure. > > You can always tell a old sysVinit person :-) Re: the original post, I'm guessing she didn't enable the service.... Try these to see if systemd knows of weewx.service or not: systemctl | grep weewx systemctl list-unit-files | grep weewx systemctl --all | grep weewx If you're not enabled you'd need to: systemctl enable weewx.service then repeat the command(s) above to verify it's indeed enabled, then it should start ok systemctl start weewx.service
