Hi Carol,
re:
> Right, I think Greg had mentioned that they were going to be changing this.
I think that full disk scans every 10 minutes will be fantastic!
re:
> Did they start in mode 6 today?
Yes, they switched to running in mode 6 for both GOES-16 and GOES-17
today. I don't think that this is the BIG switch; I think it is "just"
a test.
re:
> I'll get the change made to our pqact ASAP.
Very good.
Reminder:
- you can make changes to LDM pattern-action files' action and
have the modified/new actions take effect without stopping
and restarting the LDM
The procedure is:
- make changes to one or more actions in one or more ** active **
pattern action file's actions
- run 'ldmadmin pqactcheck' to do a gross check for typos in the
active pattern-action file actions
- if/when there are no errors indicated run:
ldmadmin pqactHUP
to make the changes active.
re:
> Thanks,
No worries.
Cheers,
Tom
