Hi Gilbert,

One quick comment:

The copy of nplog_rotate that is included with the LDM does _not_ include
a reference to a NOAA Weather Wire log file as that is not what we have
considered to be a standard NOAAPort setup.  Needing to edit a local copy
of nplog_rotate so that the list of log files matches the list that is
setup in the LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf is the reason
I wrote the following in a previous email:

Since the location of NOAAPort ingest log files can vary from
site to site, and since a version of nplog_rotate is contained
in the bin directory of every LDM installation, it is important to:

- copy the version of nplog_rotate located in the bin directory
  of the LDM installation to a different directory, preferably
  a directory that is in the PATH of the user 'ldm'

- modify the local copy of nplog_rotate to match your NOAAPort
  log file location:

change:

cd /data/tmp

to:

cd <directory where you keep your NOAAPort log files>

- change (if needed) the names of the NOAAPort log files

- make sure that the local copy of nplog_rotate is marked as
  being executable

For instance:

<as 'ldm'>
cp -p ~ldm/bin/nplog_rotate ~ldm/util

-- modify ~ldm/util/nplog_rotate

chmod +x ~ldm/util/nplog_rotate

- add a crontab action that runs the local copy of nplog_rotate
  as often/infrequently as you wish

Cheers,

Tom
