Hi,
is it possible to specify a different location for the creation of realtime files (realtime.txt - wxnow.txt)?
Now they are in the the main Cumulus folder but i'd like to move them in a ram disk on my raspberry as i burned 2 sd cards, i think for continuos writing of these small files.8i moved it
Even the web folder will be ok as i'm already using it on the ram disk
Thank you,
Luca

Re: Separate folder for realtime files
I answer to myself 
You can bypass the problem with symlinks for the files.
Just move the needed files to ramdisk and then create the symlinks in Cumulus MX folder:
ln -s ramdisk-path/realtime.txt
ln -s ramdisk-path/wxnow.txt
no problems on reboot, the symlinks are persistent and the new realtime files are created on the ramdisk.
