rebooting is not a diagnostic tool. if your first thought for fixing something is "reboot", then your thought process is broken. this is not windows (even though some people at redhat are trying to make it that way). before you reboot, try running the rc script. you should be able to use it to start and stop weewx. you should be able to do: sudo /etc/init.d/weewx-multi start vantage to start the vantage instance. or this: sudo /etc/init.d/weewx-multi to start both instances. only after you get that working should you both doing a reboot, and the only reason to do that is to verify that things work at startup. from the systemd output you posted, it looks like the /etc/default/weewx-multi file does not contain the right values. it should look like this: WEEWX_INSTANCES="vantage sdr" you can get that by doing: echo 'WEEWX_INSTANCES="vantage sdr"' | sudo tee /etc/default/weewx-multi i fixed the wiki page (my apologies again for the docs being stale on this one) however, since your system is infected with systemd :) you might want to skip weewx-multi and just write two systemd unit files. i find it easier to manage a single /etc/default file than a zillion unit files, and i find it near impossible to keep track of the zillion+1 ways that systemd overrides and obfuscates the units, but ymmv. and apologies (but not really) for the redhat/systemd flaming. systemd took a few more hours from my life again this week, and i am still bitter. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
