No worries.

Yup.

Yes, absolutely!

I would do the same sort of thing that is being done to generate the
products for the UNIWISC IDD feed: create a script that runs McIDAS-X
(McIDAS-X is particularly easy to script; the IDV is a lot harder to
script) commands from cron.  The result of these scripts would be
an image in a McIDAS AREA file.  If you are interested in creating
images in netCDF 4 files, then you would want to script access to the
TDS instance that will eventually be running on our GOES-16 data
distribution machine.

Cheers,

Tom
