Hi Tom,
I'm tryingto debug Ben Cotton's problems at Purdue. One of them is the
one I described to you earlier. Here are the messages that are
appearing in the [system] log:
Aug 16 07:29:08 anvil /kernel: pid 32205 (pnga2area), uid 61000: exited
on signal 11 (core dumped)
I ran pnga2area from the command line. I didn't get a core dump, but
got the following:
(anvil.eas.purdue.edu) [/project/ldm/data/mcidas]% pnga2area -l - -vx
temp < 02073000_sie.png

I assume the input file was an appropriate choice - I chose the input
file based on the following two pqact.conf entries:
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q1 UI
PIPE -close /project/ldm/decoders/pnga2area -l
/project/ldm/logs/png.log -vx
/project/ldm/data/mcidas/%y%m%d%H_sie.mca
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q1 UI
FILE -close data/mcidas/%y%m%d%H_sie.png -l
/project/ldm/logs/png.log
Can you shed any light on this? (We do not yet have any results in
/project/ldm/logs/png.log. I'm trying to get that working...)
