Interesting. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but
I am gettign the feeds right on time. Blair, have you tried
something like this in your ldmd.conf:
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/K[A-D]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/K[E-K]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/K[L-R]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/K[S-Z]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/T[A-Z]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/P[A-Z]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft"
Steve Emmerson kindly informed me that this is not quite the proper thing
to do. Each pqact process should have an unique filename associated with
it for when it writes state information to disk. The files can be simple
sym links and it will 'trick' LDM just fine. So the recommendation is to
simply:
cd /home/ldm/etc
ln -s pqact.gempak_craft pqact.gempak_craft.1
ln -s pqact.gempak_craft pqact.gempak_craft.2
ln -s pqact.gempak_craft pqact.gempak_craft.3
...etc...
Then in ldmd.conf
exec "/home/ldm/bin/pqact -f NEXRAD2 -p BZIP2/P[A-Z]
/home/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_craft.1"
Also note with the above, that you would be missing the radars starting
with D,N, and R :) Here's what I use:
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[A-D] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[E-H] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT2"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[I-K] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT3"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[L-O] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT4"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[P-R] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT5"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/K[S-Z] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT6"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/[A-J] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT7"
exec "pqact -p BZIP2/[L-Z] -f CRAFT /home/ldm/etc/pqact.CRAFT8"
The 2-8 files are sym links back to the mothership.
