Hi Gilbert, Quick question: - have you been ingesting the EMWIN feed and adding it to the IDS|DDPLUS data that you are ingesting from NOAAPort? We have had requests from users to stop the EMWIN data from getting into the IDS|DDPLUS stream since it is messing up some folks' archives.
I saw that. I did have it going a few weekend ago for 12 hours when NOAAport went kerblooey, but as of now: # This is the backup EMWIN feed. #####*/1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabemwin > /dev/null 2>&1 #*/2 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabemwin2 > /dev/null 2>&1 #1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabawcmetarsa > /tmp/awcmetarsa.txt #1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabawcmetarsb > /tmp/awcmetarsb.txt #1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabawcmetarsc > /tmp/awcmetarsc.txt #1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabawcmetarsd > /tmp/awcmetarsd.txt #1 * * * * /home/ldm/wxpscripts/grabawcmetarse > /tmp/awcmetarse.txt And after that 12 hour period, the answer is no. I Facebooked with Gerry Creager at TAMU, and he was definitely ingesting it into his system and putting it out, but I think he stopped it this morning or yesterday. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *******************************************************************************
