It moved YEARS ago to systemd. You should just learn the new systemd way and use that. If you want to go to systemd service files for weewx, you should remove the /etc/init.d/weewx file and install and enable the weewx service file that comes in the distribution. (after you remove the init.d file you seem to have put into place) sudo cp /home/weewx/util/systemd/weewx.service /etc/systemd/system sudo systemctl enable weewx sudo systemctl start weewx -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
