Not completely following the scenario.
If the vantage driver loses communication with the station, it will try up
to max_retries time, then the program *starts over* from the top. It does
not exit, so it is never in an "exiting state." It should keep trying
forever.
As always, it is helpful to have a log, preferably with debug=1.
