Hi, I have a Redhat system set up with two different Vantage Pro 2 systems going. These are using the Weatherlink Serial devices that I run through either a Wiznet SR110 serial to ethernet or a StarTech serial over IP. They both work fine, I have no issues running two instances of weewx. My issue is that I have these stations set up in a place where network connectivity can be troublesome.
When network connections are lost, the Vantage driver seems to try to reconnect three (actually 4 but the code doesnt see the counter hits 3 until it tries the 4th time) times, then wait 60 seconds to try again and then fail if no connection is detected. Naturally, the outages we see are usually more than the couple minutes that this whole process takes. When the weewx service exits, it never fully exits, it seems to remain in active (exiting) state. In that state my CM software (puppet) doesnt detect the service down and try to restart it. Im wondering if someone could point me in the code where I can change the service to either not die after losing the connection and keep trying forever or if there is a way to make the service actually fully exit when it decides it wants to? The program I use to fake a tcp port into thinking it is a serial port (remserial) cannot handle the service choking very well.
