However, I am seeing frequent disconnects, and in COD's logs, I am seeing them too. I thought it might be bandwidth issues, but at both sites? Hmm. Granted, it's not really affecting me in an operational sense; I just wanted to give you a heads up. Oh, yeah, the error message: Apr 21 11:14:05 weather2 rtstats[26804]: WARNING: ldm_clnt.c:277: Couldn't connect to LDM 6 on rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu using either port 388 or portmapper; ldm_clnt.c:116: : RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed out That was the first one today. Too many to count after that. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * ******************************************************************************* From address@hidden Fri Apr 22 10:02:26 2005 Return-Path: <address@hidden> Received: from gilda.unidata.ucar.edu (gilda.unidata.ucar.edu [128.117.140.30]) by unidata.ucar.edu (UCAR/Unidata) with ESMTP id j3MG2Pv2003681; Fri, 22 Apr 2005 10:02:26 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <address@hidden> Organization: UCAR/Unidata Keywords: 200504221602.j3MG2Pv2003681 To: Gilbert Sebenste <address@hidden> cc: address@hidden, address@hidden Subject: Re: 20050421: Rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu appears to be down In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 21 Apr 2005 23:40:31 CDT." <address@hidden> Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2005 10:02:20 -0600 From: Steve Emmerson <address@hidden> X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.1 (2004-10-22) on laraine.unidata.ucar.edu X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-5.7 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.0.1 Gilbert, >Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2005 23:40:31 -0500 (CDT) >From: Gilbert Sebenste <address@hidden> >Organization: Northern Illinois University >To: address@hidden >Subject: Re: 20050421: Rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu appears to be down The above message contained the following: > Apr 21 11:14:05 weather2 rtstats[26804]: WARNING: ldm_clnt.c:277: Couldn't > connect to LDM 6 on rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu using either port 388 or > portmapper; ldm_clnt.c:116: : RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed > out The above indicates a problem with the underlying network (such as congestion).
