I just received this advice:

The following email in the "address@hidden" mailing-list appears to be relevant:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/ldm-users-list/msg03501.html
Basically, just change the "-mtime" option in the scour(1) script everywhere it
occurs to "-mmin" and then multiply all the values in the scour(1)
configuration-file (etc/scour.conf) by 1440.
Good luck.

Steve Emmerson
