This is a function that I use to find weewx in the process list:
def chkWeewx(self, wxName='weewx'):
try:
result = subprocess.run(
["ps", "-eo", "user:20,group:20,args"],
capture_output=True,
text=True
)
if result.returncode == 0:
processes = result.stdout.splitlines()
for line in processes:
if wxName in line:
fields = line.split(None, 2)
wxOwner = fields[0]
wxGroup = fields[1]
return True, wxName, wxOwner, wxGroup
return False, wxName, None, None
else:
return False, wxName, None, None
except Exception:
return False, wxName, None, None
and I call it in this manner
weewxRunning, self.wxName, self.wxOwner, self.wxGroup = self.chkWeewx()\
It doesn't need anything extra.

Unfortunately, setproctitle is not part of the standard Python library, and
would have to be installed separately. Adding a dependency for so little
value is not worth it.
If you want to use it, just add it to the file user.extensions.py. That
file is loaded before anything else.

Oops!
The call should be

Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone who contributes to WeeWx.
In order to effectively find the WeeWx process in a process list, I’d like
tor suggest that weewxd set the process name when it starts.
I’ve tested the “setproctitle” library (GitHub - dvarrazzo/py-setproctitle:
A Python module to customize the process title
<https://github.com/dvarrazzo/py-setproctitle>) but would not object to
some other process.
Here’s the diff for version 5.1.0
