weewx 4.3.0 + weewx-multi + python3

[stef LP]

Hello 

I reinstall from scratch my raspberry Pi 

I decided to install python3 by default

I decided to install weewx 4.3.0 latest release

But  I decided to install weewx-multi ( i ve 2 stations  an old WMR200 with the good driver) 

and a new Froggit)

I install weewx-multi 

But  It seems there is a little bug when I want to stop service ...

When I start  : 

root@rpi-weewx:/etc/init.d# systemctl status weewx.service

● weewx.service - LSB: weewx-multi

   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/weewx; generated)

 this is important i thing  :  

6163 python /usr/share/weewx/weewxd --daemon --log-label weewx-WMR200 --pidfile=/var/run/weewx-WMR200.pid /etc/weewx/WMR200.conf  

But When I want to stop the weewx service 

never this PID is killed ;-( ...

Perhaps I ve make some mistakes

Someone help me ? 

Best regards

Hello  back 

Nobody has this problem ? 

Process: 6148 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/weewx start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) 

Every time I want to stop service , I must kill the process...

Thanks for your feedback  

Stéphane

Don't forget that the systemctl .service that is being used is automatically being generated by systemctl form the SysV file.

There may be something in the SysV file that you can add to make it stop the daemon correctly.

Alternatively you can create a systemctl .service file yourself that has the necessary command line in it(something like "ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID" where MAINPID is automatically set by systemctl to be the PID of the running daemon.)
