I have an example wunderfixer_wrapper script and corresponding crontab example, here:
https://github.com/UberEclectic/weewx/tree/watchdog/examples/watchdog You can ignore the watchdog if you want, because they're independent (but complimentary) utilities. If you want only the wunderfixer_wrapper then you just need to copy it someplace and make the crontab entry match the path. Important note is that the crontab needs to be tied to the user that can actually run wunderfixer. For many that means "sudo crontab -e" so it's root's crontab. But if you are running weewx as some user other than root, then become that user and then just use "crontab -e" to add the entry. There are other changes within the wunderfixer_watchdog script which you may need to change if you are not running weewx as root, for example where to put the supplemental logs that the script writes, which are for debugging purposes. I've left some comments in the script showing alternatives. Do pay attention to the logrotate example per the readme.txt, so that your supplemental log doesn't grow to infinity. It's that first line in the logrotate file that needs to point to wherever you have wunderfixer_wrapper writing the supplemental logs. If running as root, the example works as is, since root can write to /var/log and the wrapper will create /var/log/weewx.log. If running as some non-root user you can't keep that default log path because /var/log needs super-user privileges.
