OK. > I have included a consolidated directory listing: > address@hidden ~]$ ls -l data > lrwxrwxrwx 1 ldm met-apps 10 Jun 29 15:21 data -> /data2/ldm So, ~ldm/data points to /data2/ldm, not /data/ldm. This is likely the entire problem as your pqact.gempak entries for the MCIDAS feed have /data/ldm/... as the output directories. > address@hidden ~]$ ls -l /data2/ldm > total 402432 > drwxr-xr-x 24 ldm met-apps 4096 Jul 15 16:05 gempak > > address@hidden ~]$ ls -l /data2/ldm/gempak > total 88 > drwxr-xr-x 3 ldm met-apps 4096 Jul 15 16:05 images > > address@hidden ~]$ ls -l /data2/ldm/gempak/images > total 4 > drwxr-xr-x 3 ldm met-apps 4096 Jul 15 16:05 sat > > address@hidden ~]$ ls -l /data2/ldm/gempak/images/sat > total 4 > drwxr-xr-x 5 ldm met-apps 4096 Jul 15 16:05 NEXRCOMP Looks good... > At the same time that I instituted the UNIWISC feed it, which is > resulting in these errors, it successfully created the NEXRCOMP > directory and products. OK. The pqact.conf entry must have been pointing to /data2/ldm/... or you were using the connection through the ~ldm/data <-> /data2/ldm soft link. > If you want in to poke around, I have temporarily changed the magic word > to: ... Thanks. I logged on and changed the specified output data directories from/data/ldm/gempak/... to data/gempak. Now the images are being decoded and written as shown in this ~ldm/data/gempak/logs/ldm-mcidas.log output: Jul 16 14:42:09 pnga2area[13551]: Starting Up Jul 16 14:42:09 pnga2area[13551]: output file pathname: data/gempak/images/sat/GOES-11/4km/12.0/12.0_20060716_1430 Jul 16 14:42:09 pnga2area[13551]: unPNG:: 908797 2439056 2.6838 Jul 16 14:42:09 pnga2area[13551]: Exiting Jul 16 14:45:05 pnga2area[13906]: Starting Up Jul 16 14:45:05 pnga2area[13906]: output file pathname: data/gempak/images/sat/SOUNDER/1km/CTP/CTP_20060716_1400 Jul 16 14:45:05 pnga2area[13906]: unPNG:: 71830 309200 4.3046 Jul 16 14:45:05 pnga2area[13906]: Exiting > Thank you for your help.
