Multiple weewx processes normal?

[Chris Alemany]

Hi all,

I’m doing a bit of housecleaning and performance audit on my Debian (trixie) box running weewx (pip install) and I noticed that weewx has 9 processes running.

Is this normal and I have forgotten .. or is this an indication of something running amok?

Thanks for your help
Chris

Hi Chris,

It appears to be normal that there are multiple threads. Here is my output:

On my Trixie box using the .deb package with the Davis backend I see
four processes until the record processing and then it kicks up to five.
My understanding is that while they have a PID, they're actually
threads.

I have Wunderground Rapidfire enabled and one thread seems to be related
to that.

When the data processing thread kicks off it has a much higher PID value
than the other four.

I may be incorrect, but the shared memory and resident memory values are
the same for all threads as they're children of the parent process.
