Hi Gilbert,

Nope, I didn't do much other than cut and split wood in preparation for
winter this weekend...

re: musing about xinetd problem after a reboot
> Huh. Weird.

Well, I can now say that 'xinetd' is not a problem on weather, weather2, and
weather3.  I can also say, however, that two of these systems have other
problems that are illustrated by "pointing" at each in turn for the dataset
RTIMAGES (you did not tell me which ADDE datasets you are having problems
accessing, so I just chose one of the "standard" ones for testing):

1) weather.admin.niu.edu

You can see that the GE-IR images in RTIMAGES stopped updating
after 18:45Z on October 1.

2) weather2.admin.niu.edu

Group Name                    Server IP Address

IMGLIST: done

These look correct and pretty much up to date.

3) weather3.admin.niu.edu

DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES WEATHER3.ADMIN.NIU.EDU

Group Name                    Server IP Address
--------------------         ----------------------------------------
RTIMAGES                     WEATHER3.ADMIN.NIU.EDU

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
DATALOC -- done
 
IMGLIST RTIMAGES/GE-IR.-10
Image file directory listing for:RTIMAGES/GE-IR
IMGLIST: No images satisfy the selection criteria
IMGLIST: done
IMGLIST failed, RC=2

This says that there are no images in the RTIMAGES dataset on weather3.

Question:

- what ADDE dataset(s) are you trying to access (so I can investigate those)?

re: 

> When I choose "localhost" on weather2 and weather3 for the data that I
> have coming in, I can plot it out.
> Yep. So the data is coming in, but...

Hmm... your comment is in conflict with what I see for RTIMAGES on
weather3.

So, I would say that there are definite problems on weather and weather3,
at least for the RTIMAGES dataset.  As soon as I know what other datasets
you are trying to access (please review your scripts), I can assess if
they have data on weather, weather2, and weather3.

Cheers,

Tom
