Hi guys,

I have a Davis Vantage station with weatherlink IP and running with weewx. Sometimes this happens:

Jun  9 16:55:18 raspberrypi-fontelaurentina weewx[556]:     ****  Exiting...

id est, it can't find the station inside the network, and exits. Is there a way to make it retry instead of exiting at the first try?

This way, it is sufficient that for one minute for some reason the station is unreachable on the network, that weewx stops and needs to be manually restaryed!

Hi,

Try using the loop_on_init config option. http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#General
