Editing spurious data

I assume this has been asked a million times before, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I had a couple of days worth of spurious data in June last year, so I've edited Jun20log.txt and removed 36 hours worth of data. Do I need to edit other files to remove the all time highest and lowest temperatures that occurred in this two day spell or can I force an auto-regenerate?

Also, how do I restart Cumulus on a PI? It's not running as a service.

I'm running version 3.9.7 b3107 on Raspberry PI

Have you read https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Correcting_Extremes in the documentation?

Extremes are updated as they occur, with no auto-correct retrospectively. So yes, you do need to edit other files as per documentation.

As for RPi restart (not using service), (whether you run Pi with attached keyboard or headless) if you stop with control and C in its terminal mode, the restart is the same command as when you first started, get into correct folder containing executable, then type (again in terminal mode)

Code: Select all

sudo mono CumulusMX.exe

If you use the built-in record editors in Cumulus, then they will extract the potential record values from your dayfile and monthly log files.

Also the all-time and monthly record files have separate log files that record all the changes that are made to them, so you can see what the records were before the spurious values changed them.

Ah - that's what I was looking for!
