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.
