See # http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmConfigInstallList.html#s7 # for more information. # rtstats uses the LDM to send product latency statistics to the UPC. # We are currently evolving from pqbinstats to rtstats, but in the # mean time we hope sites will run both. For more info on rtstats # please see the man page. exec "rtstats -f ANY -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu" # ############################################################################### # Request Entries ############################################################### Please see: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/siteindex.php for current stats.

Fax: (604) 822-6150 We purge the e-mails from the archives, but maybe the phone number can get you on the right path. If you cannot gain access to UBC's machine(s), please let us know and we can reconfigure the topology.
