NAME
daily.csh - initiates the daily telescope control processes
SYNOPSIS
daily.csh
DESCRIPTION
The daily.csh is a C-shell script which should be executed near local
noon (usually by a crontab entry). (The may be a `cfile' in the telescope
root directory.) It must be invoked in the home directory of the telescope
account by the account
as
daily.csh >& daily.log
The daily does following tasks:
- sets HOME_DIR environment variable for telescope
- creates the daily data directory
- deletes old requests and extraneous data files
- generates startup and standard request files
- starts accepter.csh
- the remote request file scheduler
- starts tserver -the telescope server
- starts
insgen - the telescope scheduling program
The daily checks each request file and moves those with DAYEND previous to
the current date to the morgue. It also moves those requests in which
NUM-DONE is equal to
NUM-OBS.
It also does any system functions that should be performed on a daily basis
such as setting the system clock and deleting certain log files. (Note: by
deleting them at noon, we have a chance to do some postmortem analysis of the
previous nights images if we act
quickly.)
Finally it moves the daily.log file into the daily data directory.
