Hi Heath, re: > Any updates? Thanks. The REQUEST line for your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file for IDS|DDPLUS data products containing Slidell, LA raob reports I sent previously was correct. I ran: notifyme -vl- -f 'IDS|DDPLUS' -p USUS90 for an extended period of time, and I saw the reports received. If you didn't seen any data, it is likely that you do not have a pattern-action file action to write them to disk. Since we do not file the raob products in a way that you would likely want to, I do not have an existing pattern-action file pattern to pass along. A quick look at the IDD Product ID for this product: USUS90 KWBC 081400 suggests that the following action may be appropriate: IDS|DDPLUS ^(USUS90) .... (..)(....) FILE -close data/raob/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2/\1_(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2_\3.raob NB: - remember that certain white spaces are tabs: IDS|DDPLUS<tab>^(USUS90) .... (..)(....) <tab>FILE<tab>-close <tab>data/raob/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2/\1_(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2_\3.raob This should file USUS90 raob reports into files whose names will look like: ~ldm/data/raob/CCYYMMDD/USUS90_CCYYMMDD_HHMM.raob where, for example: CCYY -> 2010 MM -> 06 DD -> 08 HHMM -> 1200 Again, there are a semi-infinite number of ways of writing actions to process data; this is only one, and it may not be exactly what you want/need.
