Paul, Sounds like you script is stuck on a single image from yesterday. I'm assuming you are talking about NIMAGE, and not the UNIWISC feed, and that your script uses the file name as the sort order and not the most recently received. Yesterday NWS had this ADMIN notice: 718 NOUS71 KNCF 092203 ADANCF PLEASE PASS TO MIC, HIC, ESA, SOO, ITO ~ NESDIS CONTINUES TO SEND SATELLITE PRODUCTS WITH A FUTURE TIMESTAMP. THEY ARE WORKING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ONCE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED NCF WILL WORK TO REMOVE THE BAD DATA FROM AWIPS SITES. FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. ~ ncf/bb This problem was resolved yesterday afternoon, so you either need to remove the offending file from your directory, or modify your script to us a "ls -t" instead of "ls".
