Re: UNIDATA LDM feed types

Hi Ron, 

It will be placed in your queue.

The queue will flush itself so you do not need to worry about your hard
drive being filled, but you will want to monitor your queue to see if it
is the appropriate size for the data you are requesting, generally 2 GB is
sufficient for an hours worth of data. Depending upon your pqact entries,
it may then try to file products to where you have designated..this may
cause your hard drive to fill.

Please see:

http://unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pqutil+1

http://unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pqexpire+1

for queue isssues, and :

http://unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pqact+1

for pqact functions...


I will be in workshops this week, but will be monitoring my e-mail.

Please let me know if more questions arise.,.

Thank you,

-Jeff
