You really should get to the bottom of why weewx is dying. Logs are your
friend.
I don’t have a watchdog for weewx, but I have such jobs for other software.
Here’s a simplified script that should do the job. If you have mail set up,
you should add a line to mail you that weewx had to be restarted. Also,
replace ‘/home/weewx/bin/weewxd’ with the location of your weewxd. Assuming
weewx is running a root, you’ll need to add the cron entry for root.
#!/bin/sh
# If we just started up, allow some time for the process to start.
if [ `cat /proc/uptime | cut -f1 -d '.'` -le 30 ]; then
sleep 20
fi
ps aux | grep "/home/weewx/bin/weewxd" | grep -v grep > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
/usr/shin/service weewx restart
fi
