Robert,
It is my understanding that the e-mail is sent *after* the image is
completely ingested.
I have a sample that I use (thanks to help from some folks here at
SSEC), but it is for POES/NOAA not GOES - so I'm not sure if that would
help or not, as it is a script doesn't worry about the different types
of images.

Thanks John, that's certainly one part of the puzzle.
I appreciate it.
I know that each sector takes a certain amount of time to
complete, so I could sleep for x minutes after the receipt
of the e-mail but maybe there is a better way to actually
determine when the image is finished?

Subject: Re: kicking off process upon receipt of GVAR imagery into SDI
First, a mail alias is created of the form:
|/usr/foo/bar/script.sh
by which I mean the vertical bar followed by the
absolute path of an executable, which will probably
be coded as a script.
Mail sent to this alias will cause the file to be
executed with the content of the mail message available
from stdin. This mail message can be parsed to determine
if it's from some particular sector of interest.
The script should be careful to set all the environment
variables it needs before doing anything, and be aware that
it will probably execute as some user like 'daemon' or 'nobody'.
Someone else may have working examples you could use as
a guide.

I realize that the GVAR SDI ingestor sends an e-mail when a new image has

I wonder if someone would be willing to share details on how to kick off a
process
(IMGCOPY to another dataset for example) when a particular sector (CONUS,
NH..etc)
is finished.
Thanks,
