[LDM #DIL-286118]: pqact EXEC for creating sym links

Neil,

The single EXEC entry would be something like this:

    NEXRAD<tab>^SDUS[2357]. .... 
([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N[013][QUSP])(...)
    <tab>EXEC<tab>file_and_link 
data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)(\1:dd)/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3
 data/gempak/nexrad/ALLNIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

The 1st argument to the script "file_and_link" would be the pathname of the 
regular output file and the second would be the symbolic pathname.

The script, itself, would be something like this:

    cat >$1
    mkdir -p `dirname $2`
    ln -sf $1 $2

> Thanks.  I see that the ‘-wait’ option fixes the current coding.

> How should the custom script call the pqact ‘actions’?
> Or would the script anticipate a PIPE action to dump stdin to a filename, 
> then execute the mkdir and ln commands?
> 
> eg. script: dump.n.link
> 
> set outpath="/data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)(\1:dd)/\5/\4"
> set outfile="\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3"
> set linkpath= "/data/gempak/nexrad/ALLNIDS"
> cat - > ${out path}/${oufile}
> mkdir -p ${linkpath}//\5/\4
> ln -sf ${out path}${oufile}
> 
> Then
> NEXRAD  ^SDUS[2357]. .... 
> ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N[013][QUSP])(…)
> PIPE ~util/dump.n.link
