I am running my ham related software on a Linux system (Kubuntu 18.04).
I have a quite complex setup with a number of programs communicating with the rig either via rigctld if a program supports it or directly via a virtual serial multiplexer written in python.
In this setup cqrlog is not always running so I start rigctld independently and configure cqrlog not to start rigctld at start up. This is working fine a long as rigctld is not restarted while cqrlog is running or cqrlog is started before rigctld is running.
From this situation comes my wish:
Add a function "Reload RIG interface" which is trying to connect to the rig again if the connection was lost, similar to the existing "Reload CW interface"
If there is already a solution or workaround that allows to reconnect to the rig without restarting cqrlog I would be glad to know.

Hi
At least opening TRXControl window and change rigs does reload rigctld.
2nd rig can be fake -m1.
At bottom radio buttons press 2nd rig and.then 1st rig again. It reloads rigctld and restores port 4532 connection.

did you try the "refresh TRX/ROT control" feature in the file menu of the new qso window ??
I believe this should do what you describe here

Thanks Alex, "Refresh TRX/ROT control" does exactly what I want. Don't know how I missed that in the menu but not the "Reload CW interface". I'm getting old.

Hi!
Seems that I'm getting old, too.
How ever if you have TRXcontol window open (as I have here always) the fastest way is is to switch rigs, even there is no real second rig.
Otherwise File/Refresh TRX/ROT control is faster !

We all miss the very obvious things when we look for something..... this is how the male brain works....
We always look for the complex solution...... I am guilty to do this also.....
Glad that this works for you....
