consolewd for linux (Mint) and WeatherFlow instruments - cron / customclientraw

I have installed consolewd and related files onto a Linux Mint server (Fit PC4). I have my own scripts for uploading clientraw related files generated by my Weatherflow AIR/SKY instruments and consolewd and I manage those scripts with cron.

I have 3 questions:

  1. I would like to start up consolewd using cron because right now I start it manually and that really doesn’t work in a remote location. Is there any problem with this? Can I have console messages redirected to a file (or stopped altogether)?

  2. I do not see a key in config.txt to generate the customclientraw file needed for steelgauges, and it isn’t getting generated by default. Does anyone know how to configure this?

  3. I don’t like the idea of editing config.txt every time (rare but not never) I need to change a setting, so I started building a web form for it. Has anyone already done this? Mine is still in the ‘klugey/clunky’ stage.

Thank you all!
