Hi Hsie,

After our exchange yesterday, I decided to see if stratus.al.noaa.gov
was updated to serve the new imagery added to the Unidata-Wisconsin
broadcast on Wednesday.  What I found was that stratus is not serving
any data through ADDE.  I took the liberty of logging on to stratus
(via rainbow) and see that the directory in which the data files are
supposed to be located is a link that currently points to a directory
that doesn't exist:

<as 'mcidas' on stratus>
cd solaris/workdata
redirect.k LIST
Number of active redirection entries=88
ADMIN.MSG /home/mcidas/savedata
AREA006* /home/mcidas/savedata
AREA007* /home/mcidas/savedata
 ...

stratus:[45]% cd
stratus:[47]% ls -alt savedata
lrwxrwxrwx   1 mcidas   unidata       19 Mar 24  2003 savedata -> 
/export/data/mcidas

stratus:[48]% ls -alt /export
total 10
drwxr-xr-x  31 root     root        1024 Nov 18 10:59 ..
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     sys          512 Dec 24  2002 .
drwxr-xr-x  15 root     other        512 Aug 30  2002 data1
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     root         512 Aug 26  2002 home
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other        512 Mar  2  2000 home1

Is stratus still to be considered as one of the Cooperating Community
Servers that is open to folks with ADDE-enabled applications like
McIDAS and IDV?  If not, is there another machine that is supposed
to take its place, or should I remove your site as a participating
Community Server?  If yes, is it just that a needed directory has
not been mounted?

Any information you can provide will be most appreciated!

Tom
