The NPORT feedtype was an attempt to redo the feedtype categories that never got off the ground. The feedtypes that actually come out of the NOAAPORT package are WMO, NIMAGE, NGRID, and NEXRAD3. So the crontab(1) entry might be 3,18,33,48 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'wasReceived -f "WMO|NIMAGE|NGRID|NEXRAD3" -o 15' || echo NOAAPORT data-products not received in last 15 minutes Note that this might not tell you if *your* NOAAPORT system is working if the product-queue also gets these data-products from the IDD. > ******************************************************************************* > Gilbert Sebenste ******** > (My opinions only!) ****** > Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** > E-mail: address@hidden *** > web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** > ******************************************************************************* Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: TMA-441215 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
