Hi Adam,

You can setup such an action, but ** be careful **.  This is a LOT of
data!!

Here are a couple of ideas:

1) file all data received into hourly files whose names are formed
   from the product insertion time into the IDD

ANY     .*
        FILE    data/%y%H

2) if you are only interested in the WMO kinds of products, then you
   can use their standardized header formats to create files with
   "reasonable" (semi-understandable) names:

WMO     (......) (....) (..)(..)(..)
        FILE    data/\3\4\5/\1.\2

The best thing for you to do is get familiar with the format of the
headers in the various broadcast streams.  This is easily done using
the LDM 'notifyme' facility:

a) list all productgs received in the past hour

notifyme -vxl- -f ANY -o 3600

b) list all HDS products received in the past hour:

notifyme -vxl- -f HDS -o 3600

etc.
