Oh it is worse than unwise. I know better (I worked in network security
for years) - incredibly STUPID is more like it. Fortunately, a sandboxed,
unpriviledged user - and fixed now. ;) [I tried to edit the post post
facto to take it out, but it wouldn't let me edit the post. 8(]
That "something" which is indeed my LAN is my Davis WeatherLinkLive
interface box (WLL) - which broadcasts on port 22222 when appropriately
"tickled" by an http request. (It also makes TCP connections to the Davis
server for their app.) The first logs are from the machine at home (named
mythtv2 for historical reasons), which is where weewx actually runs. The
scp is just copying the html and graphics up to my cloud-hosted website -
not relevant to the problem - that kept on going fine (it is triggered by a
cron job). The scp isn't the issue at all.
The bottom logs are from my firewall ("cirithi") as a convenient place to
spot such broadcasts and log them.
weewx was not stopped in that the service was still running on Linux.
Whether it was in a blocked or deadlocked process state (waiting for
something that would never happen) I cannot say for sure. It might just
be that the data from the WSS wasn't waking it up any more. That UDP
broadcast should be every 3 seconds or so, but weren't showing up after
3:18:50 AM. My *suspicion* is that the weewx WLL driver missed (or didn't
get) one of the UDP packets, and so didn't wake up to tickle the WLL with
another HTTP request, and so went off to sleep forever.
I only posted it here on the off chance that 1) someone else saw weewx go
to sleep who may or may not be running WLL or 2) someone else running the
WLL driver noticed the same thing.
