Thanks for the reply. It could very well be the init.d/weewx script but
i've started at it and from what i understand, i can't see an error. I've
attached weewx.txt which is the top half of the init.d script.
I cleared the syslog and the weewx.log and then i rebooted. After the
reboot i pasted the syslog into the attached syslog.txt - and the weewx.log
remained empty so nothing to attach.
After the boot, i tried to run this sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start and
nothing happens, nor gets added to the log.
Lastly, i ran *cd /home/weewx* and then *sudo ./bin/weewxd* and it
immediately worked and started working.

# Startup script for Debian derivatives
#
# the skeleton script in debian 6 does not work properly in package scripts.
# the return/exit codes cause {pre|post}{inst|rm} to fail regardless of the
# script completion status. this script exits explicitly.
#
# the skeleton script also does not work properly with python applications,
# as the lsb tools cannot distinguish between the python interpreter and
# the python code that was invoked. this script uses ps and grep to look
# for the application signature instead of using the lsb tools to determine
# whether the app is running.
