WD trying to report from stale folders with previous call sign

[waterwin]

In wsprdaemon.conf I have my reporting call sign F4VTQ/S (has been F4VTQ/F at the start of my setup but was changed some days ago).

When running wdln :
Found no '*_spots.txt' files under F4VTQ=F_JN28UX

Why is it looking for F4VTQ/F when only F4VTQ/S is active ?

I manually removed /home/wsprdaemon/wsprdaemon/uploads.d/wsprnet.d/spots.d/F4VTQ=F_JN28UX

Now it is not trying to find F4VTQ/F anymore.

I think this reports the results of a directory scan looking for new files rather than an active listening/decoding. If you look under /dev/shm/wsprdaemon, you will likely find the directories labelled with your previous reporting callsign but no new files appearing there since you made the change.

To support scheduled configuration changes where the reporter ID might change, WD leaves those directories alone. It costs WD almost zero CPU to check those empty directory trees and deleting them would introduce a race condition with the decoding processes. So I leave them alone.
