[IDD #NJJ-215542]: NIMAGE Naming Convention

Hi Paul,

This is how it should be.  The 4 km NIMAGE products include the
WV, IR, and 3.9 um images.  The regular expression:

^satz/ch1/.*EAST.*/4km/

should match any of these products.

See below for the reason that the program will not get run.

The easiest way to see the list of product headers for any IDD
feed is to use the 'notifyme' utility.  Here is a simple invocation
that lists out the headers for all GOES-West images:

notifyme -vxl- -f NIMAGE -o 3600 -p WEST

This resulted in the following listing on one of the machines we
run here at the UPC:

'notifyme' is a _very_ useful utility since you can use it to test regular 
expressions
for use in pqact.conf actions:

notifyme -vxl- -f NIMAGE -o 3600 -p "^satz/ch2/.*WEST.*/4km/"

Please note that the WV image from GOES-West is not included in this listing.

> Do you know why this action might occur?

The reason is that the GOES-West water vapor images are 8 km, not 4 km:

notifyme -vxl- -f NIMAGE -o 3600 -p "^satz/ch2/.*WEST.*/8km/"
Oct 14 06:46:53 notifyme[77497] NOTE: Starting Up: localhost:

No worries.
