Recent weewx versions should already delay startup until you get accurate system time. That said: To get the status: pi@zero:~ $ sudo systemctl status weewx ● weewx.service - weewx weather system Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/weewx.service; *enabled*; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2018-10-07 11:23:13 PDT; 4 days ago See the 'enabled' there ? To disable: pi@zero:~ $ sudo systemctl disable weewx Removed /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/weewx.service. And verify it shows disabled.... pi@zero:~ $ sudo systemctl status weewx ● weewx.service - weewx weather system Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/weewx.service; *disabled*; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2018-10-07 11:23:13 PDT; 4 days ago But you shouldn't have to do that at all if you're running a recent weewx version. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
