you should not have to modify the weewx-multi script at all - put all of your customizations into /etc/default/weewx-multi
this includes not only the WEEWX_INSTANCES, but also WEEWX_BINDIR, WEEWX_CFGDIR, etc. weewx-multi does not care about drivers - it only cares about the name you give to each weewx instance. the instance names distinguish between config files and databases. for example, you could have 2 gw1000 instances and 1 vantage instance, with your weewx installed in /opt/weewx and config files in /etc/weewx, like this: WEEWX_CFGDIR=/etc/weewx WEEWX_BINDIR=/opt/weewx/bin WEEWX_INSTANCES="gw1000_1 gw1000_2 vantage" for each instance, you need a config file in the WEEWX_CFGDIR, so in /etc/weewx you would have: /etc/weewx/gw1000_1.conf /etc/weewx/gw1000_2.conf /etc/weewx/vantage.conf each of those config files would specify its own database: /var/lib/weewx/gw1000_1.sdb for gw1000_1, etc. the weewx-multi script ensures that logging from each instance gets a different prefix, so you can search per-instance, or use rsyslog configs to direct output from each instance to a separate file. the instance names are arbitrary. if the first gw1000 is in the paddock, the second is monitoring a station at the boat, and the vantage is up on a hill, you could use names like this: WEEWX_INSTANCES="paddock boat hill" the drivers and server_type do not change.
