Thanks for the information about Red Hat and what is supposed to go where. I either didn't understand the information that I was reading (more than likely) or perhaps there are some differences between how Red Had and Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian are supposed to be managed.
And yes - I had tried to enable the weewx service (and the 'daemon-reload' etc). Also from what I've read, the enable/disable doesn't actually stop the manual start/stop commands form working, only the automatic started up boot time. happy to be corrected. When I get some spare time I'll try moving the file to /etc/systemd/system and see what happens. Susan
