Seems like a good idea to me. All us mice could approve, wouldn't we? Of course, it takes only one mouse to put a bell on this (apparently) sleepy cat. What scope should the script have? + NO PARAMETERS! + NO *.ini*! + Import *configobj*. + Get write authority to ~/weewx-data/weewx.conf. Not so easy because it could be in any number of locations. + Save *debug* option status. + Set *debug* option. + Ask real-time User of this script for *root* authority and escalate to it, telling User what we're doing and making doubly sure of his approval. Danger, Will Robinson! + Do *systemctl restart weewx*. If this fails, throw up hands. + Keep User on hold for an hour. + Reset *debug* option. + Do *systemctl restart weewx*. Expect success. + Checkpoint current log file. Not so easy because it could be in any number of locations. Allow read-only access to User. + Relinquish *root* authority. + Checkpoint the output of *weectl debug*. + Ask for the User's favorite code editor. Give Newbies *emacs*. + Conjure authority to send eMail. * What is your name? * What is your eMail address? * Which is your SMTP server? * What port is allowed? * What password is required? * What is your quest? * What's your favorite color? + Present a template for a well-formed Bug report. * What happened that prompted you to make this bug report? * What did you expect to happen? * What did you do to make it happen? * What was the most recent change you made? + Checkpoint the template and amendments. + Compose eMail to weewx-user@googlegroups.com. + Show the User what we're going to send (with attachments) and ask for approval. + Import *smtplib*. + Import *email.message*. + Do *SMTP.send_message()*.
