-D restart works, in particular on mac?

[Greg Troxel]

I am running rtl_433 on an old mac (that doesn't do much), with -F
syslog sending data to mqtt_relay. Mostly that works great.

But the USB cable can be bumped and glitch. I added '-D restart'.
rtl_433 started Thursday at 0800ish (12Z).

Yesterday around now I got some 'device offline' alerts from HA. I got
the 24h repeat notifications just now.

Looking at the process, I see it has sockets open, but not apparently
the USB device. However, rtl_eeprom gets a claim error.


So it looks like the code path to do restart, which I'd expect to be
close USB, sleep, reopen USB is running into trouble.


Does anybody have reports of success or failure with -D restart and say
unplugging and replugging the dongle?


I am contemplating -D exit and watchdogging it myself in a wrapper.
