OK, checking... wx1sleet.west.tasc.com last requested a NEXRCOMP/10KRCM-NAT product at 13:53:02 GMT today. The current time is 'Thu Nov 10 13:57:49 GMT 2005' not-assigned.west.tasc.com (147.81.139.61) last requested a NEXRCOMP/10KRCM-NAT product at 13:25:56 GMT today. >One of the machines is running all the time and displaying products on a >screen. They have been running for several months. Should I kill these >processes and restart them? How are the images trasferred? What I mean is there an IMGCOPY or IMGDISP in a loop that never exits, or is there a process that is kicked off periodically by cron? I would have thought that the 'DATALOC HOST' would have worked in either case. One other thought: if the user running the IMG* has its MCTABLE_WRITE setup to be a file that is NOT the first one listed in its MCTABLE_READ, then doing a DATALOC HOST would not change the IP address used if the client routing tables listed before the $MCTABLE_WRITE one pointed to the old machine. This is complicated, so I will give an example: with: MCTABLE_WRITE=/home/mcidas/data/ADDESITE.TXT and: MCTABLE_READ='/home/mcidas/workdata/MCTABLE.TXT;/home/mcidas/data/ADDESITE.TXT' if /home/mcidas/workdata/MCTABLE.TXT has an entry for NEXRCOMP that points to adde.ucar.edu, and if it further has an entry with the old IP address of that machine, then you running DATALOC HOST will have no effect. In this case the best thing to do is to: - identify the list of client routing tables contained in your MCTABLE_READ - edit all of them by hand and change any reference to the old IP address of adde.ucar.edu to the new one: Change: HOST_ADDE.UCAR.EDU=128.117.15.119 to: HOST_ADDE.UCAR.EDU=128.117.114.119 This should do the trick.
