Gabe,
Either one of your scripts isn't running gpend (look into running the
_gf versions), or you have run into another issue (sorry Art, but it's
true) where gf or gplt will hang if you have too many GEMPAK processes
running sequentially in a GEMPAK script, even if you are running gpend
or using the _gf versions. Another part of the company has a Linux
cluster that I must use until we finish getting our own Solaris x86
clutser, and I have encountered this issue. If you have any very long
GEMPAM scripts, you may try breaking them into pieces (after you have
checked for missing gpends).
