[McIDAS #XRR-599672]: Configuring scouring of McIDAS data

Hi Samuel,

OK, your call...

The files being saved in the /data/ldm/mcidas directory are done so by way of
McIDAS ROUTEing table processing.  The images are saved in sets of 10 images
and newly received images will overwrite the oldest in each set.  There is, 
therefore,
no need to scour the images as the maximum number in any set will be 10.

The fact that no new images have been received in the AREA1200-AREA1209 
(Southern
Hemisphere Wildfire ABBA images), and AREA1190-AREA1199 (Northern Hemisphere 
Wildfire
ABBA images) indicates that there is some process in the injection of new 
images into
the IDD.  I will need to investigate this.

Yes.  You should delete those in the same way that you deleted similarly named 
GRIB
messages.

Cheers,

Tom
