Hi Jim, re: > You confirmed what I was expecting for the GOES-W AREA files. I just couldn't > figure out > why we were still getting the files for GOES-E and the RTIMAGE blocks were > still listed > for GOES-W products in the web example. Hmm... the current web page that lists all of the products in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream does not show the old GOES-West/15 image sectors nor the old, but still existing GOES-16/remapped 13 sectors. Here is the URL for the page I am referring to: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/uniwisc.html If you are seeing renditions of the old sectors, then it should be the case that your browser view needs to be forcibly refreshed (e.g., shift-refresh) or you are looking at the old page: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/uniwisc_old.html re: > My e-mail somehow got the typo for the Full Disk composite block, it was okay > in the > actual pqact.conf file. Hmm, that is strange for two reason: - I don't know how an email client would change a word unless it was somehow doing an auto correct - I asked for the pattern-action file to be sent so that I would be sure of the entries being used/tried, and so I could make sure that the actions included are properly formatted re: > Our ldmd.conf file hasn't really been updated for years.

I haven't really dealt much with LDM, since I retired in 2013, and > apparently > not much has changed in the pqact.conf and ldmd.conf files, since then. One of the key guarantees with the LDM is that its configuration files are backwardly compatible. Question: - what version of the LDM is running on the machine you are working on? The easiest way to get this and other information is to do the following: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin config re: > I'm not familiar with the srvlp-dpt-met02.plymouth.edu machine as I primarily > have been > fixing web page related problems, but I'll add the line rtstats entry to > typhoon.plymouth.edu, since this does get UNIWISC feed data.

If you like, I could login to your machine as 'ldm' and check to make sure that things are setup correctly. Logging in would require getting the login credentials and the machine's/department's/university's firewall(s) would have to allow the connection attempt. If you would like me to login and poke around, please email me (address@hidden) the password for the 'ldm' account in an email ** that make NO mention of the account for which it is valid, or of the machine on which the account lives **.
