Hi Gilbert, re: > I still don't know whaat is acceptable syntax for the ldmd.conf file. ldmd.conf supports extended regular expressions in the same way that is supported in pqact.conf configuration files. These are also supported by the 'notifyme' utility, so it can be used to test your ERE before changing entries in ldmd.conf. re: > What about this? > > request NNEXRAD3 "/p(N0Q|N0U|etc)" noaaport.admin.niu.edu Yes, this would work except the feed name is either NNEXRAD or NEXRAD3 not NNEXRAD3. The 'notifyme' test of this would be: notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD3 -p "/p(N0Q|N0U|etc)" -h noaaport.admin.niu.edu The ERE portion is surrounded by quotes so that the parentheses and ORs won't be interpreted by your shell.
