Thanks for the information.
I have debug=1 set in the weewx.conf file.
I just ran 'sudo ./bin/wee_reports' and it created and populated the
public_html directory with image files.
If I manually call "sudo ./bin/weewxd', I start seeing weather station data
appear in the /var/log/syslog.
I followed the Debian instructions for adding a weewx daemon using the
init.d commands.
I don't think it worked, because there is no evidence of weewx running.
- not seeing weather station data appearing in /var/log/syslog
- not seeing weewx in the "top" screen
- not seeing a /var/run/weewx.pid file
- no /home/weewx/public_html/index.html file is being created
Now, I guess the mystery is, why isn't weewx running as a daemon?
If I manually call 'sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start', I do not see any entries
appear in the /var/log/syslog.
Didn't Ubuntu move to using 'service name start/stop' commands?
I can manually start weewx with 'sudo service weewx start' and the
following appears in the /var/log/syslog:
Apr 24 14:29:21 Ubuntu20-WEEWX systemd[1]: Starting LSB: weewx weather
system...
Apr 24 14:29:21 Ubuntu20-WEEWX systemd[1]: Started LSB: weewx weather
system.
And I can manually stop weewx with 'sudo service weewx stop' and the
following appears in the /var/log/syslog:
Apr 24 14:29:34 Ubuntu20-WEEWX systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: weewx weather
