I had the same issue like Vince the other day - and .... loop_on_init
hadn't been set by the install script...
I assume it's to set in the [GW1000] stanza - that's where I added it now.

That would explain the behaviour then, if loop_on_init is not set the
loss of connectivity with the station (for whatever reason) will cause
WeeWX tobeen exit as it does with any other driver. I will make a point
of pulling the network on my GW1000 and confirming the driver and
loop_on_init work as expected.

(unsure if this blasted google groups new interface ate my draft

loop_on_init was not set at all, so it's sure acting like the
default is False.
I'll define it as True for the next time, which hopefully won't need
testing for a long time....
Thanks.

Vince,
Thank you. From memory the driver should retry continuously when
the network returns if loop_on_init = True in weewx.conf (though
I am not sure I tested this by turning of my network). Can you
confirm the loop_on_init setting at the time?

Gary - I wanted to pass along some logs from a gw1000 driver
abort yesterday.
I had my home network down for a bit yesterday to do some
firmware updates on my Ubiquiti USG, Switch and AcLite
access point and weewx aborted rather quickly.
The external, wired, and wifi networks were indeed down for
some minutes so missing some readings was expected, but I
was hopeful that the driver would recover gracefully after
things were back up, however weewx totally aborted and the
process was gone.
Just passing along the logs in case you wanted to take a
look. Thanks.
