fixed! for non-root user running weewx.
i recommend this be updated in util/init.d/weewx.debian (after someone tests it
for root user…)
start-stop-damon(8) clearly says
-p, --pidfile pid-file
...
Warning: using this match option with a world-writable pidfile
or using it alone with a daemon that writes the pidfile as an
unprivileged (non-root) user will be refused with an error
(since version 1.19.3) ...
‘using it alone’ → so i just added another daemon-identifying matching option
readily to hand, the username
the ‘stop’ request in weewx script becomes
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $WEEWX_PID --user $(echo $WEEWX_USER | sed
's/:.*$//')
and it works like a charm!
