Over the years I have found that using software from whatever source entails a learning curve.

The myth that you can save a lot of time and effort has not been my experience.

Make you wonder what Mosquito is using to write the DB file and if that can be configured to cope with unexpected shutdowns.

I visited the https://mosquitto.org/ website and right at the top is a mention of "Don’t error on zero length persistence files. Closes #316" from Feb this year.

Unfortunately as others have seen getting the newest version working on the Edison is a non-trivial task.

Being bitten by a virtual mosquitto results in a virtual injury that can only be rectified by virtual medicine and healt professionals ... good luck.

I wonder if you can have a scriot check that it is indeed running and substitue a blank database with the correspondingactions necessary.

It would be a shame to see it stop due to some form of corruption as it's an essential part of the whole system.

OTOH having more than one sensor might be the answer.
