Thanks for the quick response! I think this confirms that a simple "shell out" feature doesn't yet exist. I couldn't find it in extensions either.
My case doesn't need any data from the parent. It simply selects the records since last update so it can be ran anytime to convert all missing data. On first run this converts all history which can take a few minutes for years of data. I could run independent updates after that via cron(1), but ideal timing is to hook it to weewx flow to be available ASAP. I was thinking of extending the StdReport since this is sort-of an alternative reporting format. And it will run an external command similar to how RSYNC report does. But I see value in your approach for a more general purpose shell out. That event data could be made available to the subprocess via the environment for example. I'll try to get something working and then adjust my wview-rrd code on github. Thanks! -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
