Neil,We had a power outage today, it's a pita to get back your environment etc. Anyhow, I look at the logs today. It seems the problem isn't with pqsurf
per se, it's the pqact running on the pqsurf.conf that exited. Since
pqact usuallly doesn't fail unless a entry in the file causes a problem.
I notice all your entires are DBFILE ones. I wondering if you could
comment those out with a '#' and make a entry that writes to a file? This
way we could determine if it's the DBFILE entries or not. How about using
a entry like this:
WMO ^metar (....) ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
file /data/ddplus/(\2:yy)(\2:mm)\2\3.wmo
This will file all the metars in a file like: /data/ddplus/02111812.wmo
Rememeber the white spaces needs to be tabs.
Let me know what you find out.
Robb...
