There is actually no EXIT command in McIDAS.  Commands included in
a McIDAS BATCH file have to be primary McIDAS commands, ones in
~mcidas/bin (most have .k sufficies like imgdisp.k which is the actual
command for IMGDISP.

>In any case, is there a way around my problem?

Don't include the EXIT at the end of the BATCH file.  The McIDAS mini-session
will go away when all the commands have finished.

There is another way...

In current distributions of McIDAS (yous seem to be using a
distribution of McIDAS that is many years old; the current distribution
is v2003), I include two example Unix shell scripts that are designed
to run McIDAS commands:

mcbatch.sh
mcurn.sh

mcbatch.sh is setup to run McIDAS BATCH files.  mcrun.sh is setup to
run a series of McIDAS commands.  Both exit McIDAS at the end of 
invocation.

Since you are attempting to run a McIDAS BATCH file, I suggest using
mcbatch.sh:

- if McIDAS v7.1 has mcbatch.sh (I can't remember, and do not have this
  distribution installed anymore), then copy it to a local file in
  your account:

cp ~mcidas/data/mcbatch.sh ~/mybatch.sh

- if McIDAS v7.1 does not have mcbatch.sh, FTP it using anonymous FTP
  from the Unidata FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu:

cd ~
ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
  <user> anonymous
  <pass> address@hidden
  cd pub/mcidas/data
  binary
  get mcbatch.sh mybatch.sh
  quit

Next, edit mybatch.sh and change things that may need changing:

MCHOME=          <- the HOME directory for the user 'mcidas'
MCLOG=           <- define to be a log file for McIDAS command text output
MCTABLE_READ=    <- semi colon separated list fully qualified names of
                    client routing tables
PATH=            <- normal PATH definition, but with ~mcidas/bin first
LD_LIBRARY_PATH= <- normal definition

mcbatch.sh is executed as follows:

mcbatch.sh file.bat

Let me know if you have questions about how to use mcbatch.sh.

>Thanks,

No worries.

Thanks for the help - FYI, I just wanted to let you know that the scripts 
are actually located in the following directory on the unidata site:

/pub/mcidas/bin/scripts

The script works great!

Thanks again,

Jason

Support:

When I run Mcidas manually, I don't encounter this problem, and the temp 
dirs get removed. 

I have attached a copy of my .cshrc file as well as one version of the batch 
file I'm using as well as the script that creates the file.  The batch file 
changes automatically, depending on variables that are sent to it.  I have 
not attached the "parent" script that actually calls on mcbatch, but it 
actually invokes both the script that creates the batch file (which I have 
attached) and the mcbatch script... I think that sorta explains what I'm 
doing.

Here is the output from uname -a:

IRIX nimbus 6.5 01100303 IP22

If the problem is indeed related to the antiquity of our version of McIdas, 
there is a chance we may have a newer version installed on another group of 
machines (which are down attm), so I might soon know.

Thanks for your help!

Jason
