Re: [ldm-users] LDM Metar Feeds

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.
