I just upgraded my Raspberry Pi 4 weewx installation to v4.3 from v 4.2 and everything appears to be working as expected. Being the paranoid sort that I am, when the upgrade process prompted me to overwrite or save/use my current weewx.conf I told it to use my current one. After doing so and saving multiple versions of weewx.conf, the system reported that it is using weewx.conf-4.2.0.
Now that I have verified that the new, combined weewx.conf will be ok to use, how do I get weewx to use the combined weewx.conf instead of the old weewx.conf-4.2.0? I couldn't find any specific information on how to verify the version of weewx.conf weewx was using when it started running. Also, I didn't see anything is the syslog when I restarted weewx that would lead me to know which weewx.conf it was running with.
