The downside is that if you start/stop weewx via some custom mechanism, we will have a difficult time helping you for future questions....and you will have a difficult time updating weewx to future versions (maybe). - If you are running a systemd-based operating system, start weewx with a systemd-based startup file - If you are running an init.d-based operating system, start weewx with an init.d-based startup file But 'technically' weewx does not care how you start it up. You can do it any way you want.
