OK, sounds good.
By the way, the one thing that I have never said because I assumed it was
obvious is that your 'ldm' user must have permission to write the output
file. So, in:
FNEXRAD ^rad/NEXRCOMP/(...)/(...)_(........)_(....)
FILE -close /data/radar/\1/\2/\2_\3_\4
'ldm' must be able to do a 'touch /data/radar/xxx'. If 'ldm' can't write
to /data/radar, the action will fail.
Is it possible that you meant your action to be:
FNEXRAD ^rad/NEXRCOMP/(...)/(...)_(........)_(....)
FILE -close data/radar/\1/\2/\2_\3_\4
Here you would be writing to ~ldm/data/radar/..., not /data/radar/...
Just an thought...
Cheers,
Tom
