Tom,

OK.

This makes sense since onesky is seeing all products.

There are two things to change here:
o put a tab between '-close' and '/sky1/local/ldm-mcidas-7.6.4/bin/pnga2area'
o change and the second selection parentheses on the header line
I recommend you change your entry to:
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q1 (..) (.*) (.*) (.*) (.*) (........) (....)
PIPE -close
/sky1/local/ldm-mcidas-7.6.4/bin/pnga2area
-a /usr/local/ldm/data/mcidas/SATANNOT
-b /usr/local/ldm/data/mcidas/SATBAND
-l /logs/mcidas.log -v
-d /usr/local/ldm/data/mcidas -r \1,\2
The BIG culprit is the second selection parenthsis. The default AREA file
numbers for the CIMSS products are 4 digits long, and three digits long
for the "normal" GOES images. This can be seen from the headers contained
in the notifyme listing from onesky:
Since these AREA numbers are not constrained
to be any particular length, it is best to use the '(.*)' selector.
>I tried having that script use the AREA115? and AREA114? but the output is
>all black on the .GIF after i run the xsat program...
I suspect that xsat can't handle the CIMSS products, but I have no way
of knowing. Have you tried running it by hand and see if there area
any error messages.

The CIMSS products are broadcast under the 'Q0' time indicator, and the
"normal" GOES images are broadcast under the 'Q1' time indicator.
>Any more ideas ? :)
I a confident that as soon as you change your pqact.conf entry and send
a HUP to pqact, you will once again be decoding the images you want.
