Additionally, as I have already received a direct reply from someone
wanting details:
- create a script, say "/home/ldm/bin/cutmetars.sh" that looks similar
to this:
-- cut here --
#! /bin/bash
if [ -r /etc/profile ]; then
source /etc/profile
fi
if [ -r ${HOME}/.bashrc ]; then
source ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi
if [ -r ${HOME}/.bash_profile ]; then
source ${HOME}/.bash_profile
fi
finalfile=`echo "${1}" | awk -F"/" '{print $NF}'`
finalpath=`echo "${1}" | sed -e "s/${finalfile}$//g"`
mkdir -p ${finalpath}
cat | tr '\n' '\r' | sed -e "s/ \r\r\r//g" | \
sed -e "s/\r\r\r //g" | sed -e "s/\r\r\r/\r/g" | \
tr '\r' '\n' | grep -E -o "[A-Z][0-9A-Z]{3} [0-9]{6}Z .*" >> ${1}
-- cut here --
Then edit your pqact.conf file to PIPE the incoming METAR/SPECI to this
script:
#
WMO ^S[AP].... .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
PIPE -close /home/ldm/bin/cutmetars.sh
data/metar_list/%Y%m%d_%H.txt
#
Check syntax (you need tabs in particular places that email will
probably not carry):
ldmadmin pqactcheck
Then HUP it:
ldmadmin pqactHUP
This is not bulletproof, it will have both false negative and positives,
but it will work to give you a basic idea of what is coming in.
