[AWIPS #KEZ-434248]: /awips2/data_store/manual directory

Hey Pete,

You should be able to use it directly from the /awips2/ldm/dev location (just, 
as you 
said, might need to make it executable first).  That should be totally fine.

I actually thought we already had you using this script for other data ingest?  
With your
satellite data maybe?
Anyway, I do believe it can be ran in multiple threads, and that should be 
okay.  I believe
it adds the files to one of the qpid queues for EDEX, so qpid is able to manage 
all those
requests, even if they come in at once.
As far as logging goes, you should still see entries in the edex ingest grib 
log I believe?

Let me know if that answers your questions?
Thanks!
