Tom: I had trouble with this configuration back 2 years ago when I ran both a SDR and a Acurite instance of WeeWX using a reporting instance to report the results for both.
What I did was I created a shell script for each instance (eg wx-sdr, wx-acurite, wx-rpt) and used cron to execute each at reboot. Here is a snippet of my script that I used: #WX_SDR Instance execution HOME=/home/weewx CONF_FILE=/home/weewx/conf/wx_sdr.conf LOG_FILE=/home/weewx/logs/wx_sdr.log echo "using $CONF_FILE" cd $HOME ./bin/weewxd $CONF_FILE >> $LOG_FILE WeeWX will start an instance and I just had it report its results in a log. You can modify this to use logrotate as prescribed in the wiki logging ยท weewx/weewx Wiki (github.com) <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/logging#save-weewx-log-messages-to-a-separate-file> hope this helps!
