Hello All,

With the great help of Tom, I got kiwirecorder and wsprdaemon running on a pi4 about a year ago. It's been rock solid since then, but I could use some help at the moment, as something broke/I broke something unintentionally.

I start the program with :   ~/wsprdaemon/wsprdaemon.sh -a  from a BASH script that also launches kiwirecorder (which is working), and a QRSSpig monitor (also working).    

Whether I run the bash script or just enter the above at the command line, the program appears to run, but when I  look at the status with the -s argument, nothing is running (my .conf file usually launched 4 WSPR monitors)


pi@Pi4Brick:~/scripts $ ~/wsprdaemon/wsprdaemon.sh -s

I realize that there is a bunch of reasons that this might happen, but my question is how to debug this?  I have not knowingly moved files or changed paths, and I don't get any errors when I launch the job with the -a argument. 

Yes, I am a Linux novice. Any hints on debug appreciated.

wsprdaemon itself launches the kiwirecoder, why do you have another bash script that starts it also ?
I can understand that you want to start additional sw like the QRSSpig (?) monitor, but I see no need to start kiwirecorder yourself

Good luck
Erwin

Care to tell us the what and how so we all can learn a bit more of your solution ?
Thanks
Erwin
