So it might get stuck, if you reboot your WeatherDuino, but not the WeeWx machine and so on.

This is one of the worst conditions that can happen, not only by an intentional reboot, but also due to a power failure. Depending on the weather software used, this condition always cause some troubles, because during the WeatherDuino initialization there is no USB communication (this is intentional, and avoids even bigger problems). This matter was already discussed long time ago in several old topics, and it can be avoided.
Things we can do:
* Having the weather station powered by the same power source than the PC ou PI which is running the weather software. An UPS can also helps, this is the reason why some users have build units with the receiver and the PI powered by a built-in UPS.
Images are from a station built by Zdenek, and in use at http://meteo.brandysnl.cz
* Many Cumulus MX users which are running it on a PI, are using the fantastic Start|Stop|restart Script available at the Cumulus support forum. Its possible to configure the PI to start this script just a few minutes after the PI restart (to give time for the WeatherDuino station to complete the initialization sequence after a reboot).
I'm not a Linux expert but I think that its possible to write a script that automatically starts WeeWx a few minutes (for most cases 3 minutes is enought ) after the restart of the system which is running weewx.
This is the method used at the
MeteoCrasm weather station which runs without human intervention for long periods.

We digress, but I have certainly enjoyed the conversation and learning more about both Weewx and "our" wonderful WeatherDuino system
The better you know how it works the better will be the final result. Once everything is set properly you will see that it runs solid as a rock.
If I seemed rude in any of my previous post, my apologies, current week wasn't be very good for me.
