You could use the "notifyme" LDM utility to obtain a list of products from each of the upstream LDM-s over a given time period and then process the output to obtain the set of data-products in common. For example notifyme -vl 15.txt -f NEXRAD2 -h 216.38.80.15 & notifyme -vl 9.txt -f NEXRAD2 -h 216.38.95.9 & [1] 5228 [2] 5229 sleep 60 && kill 5228 5229 awk 'NR>3{print $10}' 15.txt | sort -u >15.list awk 'NR>3{print $10}' 9.txt | sort -u >9.list comm -12 15.list 9.list I just did this and the intersection was the empty set.
