[McIDAS #TAL-270196]: Not getting MD data

Hi Heather,

re:
> I have attached my XCD_START.LOG to this email.

OK, thanks.

re:

I agree.  I am not sure why SSEC/MUG did not include timestamps in the file
to indicate when things happened.

re:

I agree: I don't see anything in the XCD_START.LOG file that you attached to 
your
email.

No.

Please do the following while monitoring:

- if you see that decoding observational data into MD files has stopped,
  see if the data monitor(s) and ingest routines are still running:

ps -eaf | grep DM | grep -v grep
ps -eaf | grep inge | grep -v grep

  Your listings should look something like:

% ps -eaf | grep DM | grep -v grep
     ldm  3217 22312   0 17:10:38 ?           0:37 DMSFC
     ldm 25309 22312   0 16:49:38 ?           0:55 DMMISC
     ldm 22734 22312   1 16:41:08 ?           8:16 DMSYN
     ldm 22322 22312   1   Jul 21 ?        1897:10 DMGRID
     ldm 15343 22312   0 16:19:38 ?           0:51 DMRAOB

% ps -eaf | grep inge | grep -v grep
     ldm 22290 22265   0   Jul 21 ?           0:00 ingetext.k DDS
     ldm 22314 22290   0   Jul 21 ?          51:53 ingetext.k DDS
     ldm 22315 22291   1   Jul 21 ?         845:08 ingebin.k HRS
     ldm 22291 22265   0   Jul 21 ?           0:00 ingebin.k HRS

Cheers,

Tom
