To list crontab type: $crontab -l To edit crontab type: $crontab -e To start typing hit the escape key then "i" to insert, then start typing. To exit crontab "esc" then semi colon, then wq In 2013 I found many things that were hard-wired in the scripts that modify the website that need fixing to cross the year. These include: 1) Placing a nagoya.2013 file into $TUB so that the download script can interpret that file as old and continue to update that file. 2) In /home/soft/smei/ucsd/gen/python/ the script mag_noaa.py needs to be updated to download the new year magnetic field data from: solis.nso.edu/synoptic/level3/vsm/merged/carr-daily/2013 in the python text statement: args['remote_site'] = 'solis.nso.edu' args['remote_dir' ] = os.path.join('/synoptic','level3','vsm','merged','carr-daily','2013') args['get_patt' ] = '^'+remote_prefix+'.*fts.gz$' The old files are named like: svsm_m11lr_B3_cr2135_297.fts.gz The new files are in solis.nso.edu/pubkeep/ and I think all named and updated as: kbv7g_current_syn-mas_dim-180.fits.gz These are placed in: /home/soft/dat/map/nso_ktpk/ The processed files for the tomography program are placed in: /home/soft/dat/maps/nso_ktpk/hcss by this python script that runs xhcs.pro, Xeupu's program. 3) In /home/soft/smei/com/linux/ the script sync_ips_daily needs to be updated to copy the nagoya.2012 file over to the $DAT/nagoya/rtsources/nagoya.2013 directory file as long as the negoya.2013 file is not yet produced. When the negoya.2013 file is produced it needs to be moved to the $DAT/nagoya/rtsources/nagoya.2013 directory file to overwrite this negoya.2012 produced file. Also the negoya.2012 file needs to be moved over to the $DAT/nagoya/rtsources/nagoya.2012 directory file. In this way the IDL program that makes the sky sweep maps will pick up the correct (edited) sources to output the the sky sweep map. I did this by: mv $fast_raw/negoya.2012 $DAT/nagoya/rtsources/nagoya.2012 mv $fast_raw/negoya.2013 $DAT/nagoya/rtsources/nagoya.2013 (The first takes place as long as there is a negoya.2012 file produced.) On 02 04 2014 I changed the above two programs back from what Paul had done previously, and I am now running a newer version of the tomography program. Paul now use $MV as a move parameter. The current is: $MV negoya.2013 $NAGOYA/rtsources/nagoya.2014 $MV negoya.2014 $NAGOYA/rtsources/nagoya.2014 This did not work, as evidently there was still a nagoya.2013 file in rtsources left modified from a run on 02 04 2014. I manually deleted the old nagoya.2013 file in rtsources on 02 15 2014. On 02 04 2014 by the way, if these files are changed in Word, then when transferred back to Linux, they can be modified to not have a carrage return in Linux: Paul Hick - "sync_ips_daily wasn't running because the lines ended in CR-LF, instead of just LF. Bash scripts won't run that way. If you edit on windows, either make sure you save them in the correct format, or, after copying to cass185, run the script through splat.py splat.py sync_ips_daily This fixes the problem" Also on 02 04 2014 remember that a transferred executable from Windows needs to be allowed to execute in Linux by using: $chmod a+x ipstd20n_inp_mag_V14_intel On 02 15 2014 the IDL plots of rcelias are not working even though the tomography is picking up the rcelias data from about 02 08 2014. On a look at: /home/soft/dat/insitu/realcelias, I find that there is no data after the first hour 02 09 2014. Thus, no Celias data is being placed into /realcelias. The crontab job downloads data from: http://129.2.9.70/pm/houraverages.txt, and there is no data in houraverages.txt in this directory following 02 09 2014. ********************************************** vi commands ************************************************* For vi see https://tipsandtricks-hq.com/unix-vi-commands-take-advantage-of-the-unix-vi-editor-374 The UNIX vi editor has two modes of operation: 1. Command mode(commands which cause action to be takenon the file - Press the 'i' character to change to insert mode). 2. Insert mode (entered text is inserted into the file - Press the (Escape) key to go to the command mode). To edit programs using vi type the command prompt: vi To quit vi type one of the followiing commands and press enter: :x (exits without writing out the file) :wq (exits and writes out the modified file) :q (quits vi) :q!
