Tomislav,

The source code trees, which is where that script is located, are 
located in the source code distribution tar file. I'll append
below. The gdradr.nts is also included.


#!/bin/csh -f
#
# This script runs GDRADR in a loop.
# To change parameters, modify the gdradr.nts file and issue a 
# kill -INT to the gdradr process. 
# 

while (1 == 1)

gdradr << EOF
 restore gdradr.nts
 r

 e
EOF

sleep 30

end
