That's likely to be your problem there. kill -9 is a good way of getting weewx to stop instantly - it's the same as a head shot. Trouble with that is there is no chance for weewx to pack its bags, tidy the room and generally exit gracefully, which means there's a mess left behind to clean up. PID files, uncompleted processess. kill -15 is a little cleaner, it allows weewx to pack its bags, clean up and exit stage left. But it still doesn't play well (or vice versa) with init.d scripts They do their jobs well. But if you do use them, then expect some unpredictable results (keyword being unpredictable) - one of them being that /etc/init.d/weewx start won't necessarily start up again. weewx start will say it has indeed started but as you've found it's just a hollow message. If you use the kill command. The fix is to run* /etc/init.d.weewx stop* before you do the */etc/init.d/weews start *(or simply run */etc/init.d/weewx restart*) That at least cleans up the stale PID file, something else might be left confused but weewx will more than likely clean that up.

I think it was when I was road testing the Bootstrap skin.
