It should be relatively easy to modify the script to work with the rtstats(1) data-products. > My question: While looking for the answer to the rtstats query on the > Unidata website, I found the IDD stats/graphs pages on the Unidata site > and noted there are a number of stats from .noaa.gov.

We work with NWS sites quite a bit and the documentation on the LDM is online, easily accessible, and describes the customization process and rtstats(1) in detail, so I guess I'd be surprised if the reporting is by accident. I can't say for certain, however. Is it important? > Thanks, > Gregg Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: TVU-725269 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: On Hold
