Restarted from scratch. I still see the error message: Calibration: gif skipped like all day so far, in the Nahenahe Console window. GIF images aren't being made and besides those error messages I don't get the animation display and I get recurring email messages saying that the "Mk4 images are out of date" I've been trying to figure out the problem. This is probably related to my changing the log entries according to Alice's email yesterday about how my changes would affect the production of GIF images, but I have the "Observer:" and "WEATHER COMMENT:" entries back to the old way. I don't understand it but I'll keep working on it. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar 9 22:39:55 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/22_36.rawmk4 ___end___ **MKIV PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Tue Mar 9 22:53:26 GMT 2010 I'll delete most of the erroneous log "WEATHER COMMENT:"s but I'll leave some on the log for showing what it looks like. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar 9 22:54:28 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/22_51.rawmk4 ___end___ Tue Mar 9 23:04:04 GMT 2010 CHIP End LSD Tue Mar 9 23:04:11 GMT 2010 CHIP BiasLSD Tue Mar 9 23:04:44 GMT 2010 CHIP End BiasLSD Tue Mar 9 23:04:50 GMT 2010 CHIP Bias Tue Mar 9 23:05:21 GMT 2010 CHIP End Bias Tue Mar 9 23:05:26 GMT 2010 CHIP ReStart Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar 9 23:06:06 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/23_03.rawmk4 ___end___ **GENERAL PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Tue Mar 9 23:14:30 GMT 2010 Network is down. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar 9 23:14:52 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/23_11.rawmk4 ___end___ **GENERAL PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Tue Mar 9 23:27:41 GMT 2010 Phone lines are out as well as Internet connection, my cellphone doesn't work here so I'll call HawTel from another location to alert them. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar 9 23:29:23 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/23_26.rawmk4 ___end___ Tue Mar 9 23:41:02 GMT 2010 MKIV End Patrol Tue Mar 9 23:46:42 GMT 2010 CHIP End Patrol Wed Mar 10 00:31:13 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Mar 10 00:43:07 GMT 2010 /local/d/Data/MkIV/00_40.rawmk4 ___end___ Wed Mar 10 00:43:08 GMT 2010 MKIV End Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Wed Mar 10 00:34:15 GMT 2010 These "WEATHER COMMENT" with mk4 data file names are something totally new to me, that's why it looks like it is related to my log entry changes a few days ago. It's obvious that the lack of GIF files is related to these messages in the log, I see the same pattern with yesterday's log, when there were automatic strange "WEATHER" comments in the logs there were also no GIFs created for the Mk4. But why did the GIFs get created OK early yesterday after Ben changed the "Observer" comment back to the old way, and then the messages appeared for a while with corresponding lack of GIFs and then the messages ceased and the GIFs were created for the rest of the day. For me today I had the messages and no created GIFs all day, no matter what pattern I tried for cycling KCC power and rebooting Nahenahe. This problem is similar to problems in the past where the GIFs and animations stop during the day but there weren't any automatic log entries and cycling the KCC fixed those problems. I don't have any telephone service or email ability right now, I'm going to head down and call HawTel about that. I'll call Ben up here tomorrow to see if he gets the same log messages and lack of Mk4 GIFs. I'll delete most of those "WEATHER COMMENT"s but leave some. ___end___ NOTE BY DARRYL: Wed Mar 10 01:20:24 GMT 2010 I tried moving the ADR sensor to various points on the CHIP "handle", can't get a good point for allday clearance of all instruments (like usual). The South end of the handle favors late day, the North end favors early day which is where I left it because we get our best data around mid-morning. We can try different mounting locations like the front end of CHIP when we have time available. ___end___ **GENERAL PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Wed Mar 10 01:30:02 GMT 2010 Network and phone lines are back up so I'll stick around a while more to finish some communications. There was a problem around mile 16 on the Saddle Road, not too surprising with all the road construction going on down there. ___end___ Wed Mar 10 02:45:32 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Patrol Wed Mar 10 03:04:45 GMT 2010 MKIV End Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Wed Mar 10 03:10:07 GMT 2010 Alice helped me solve the mystery, wc is a Unix command and I had created a log weather comment script called wc, so some program wanted the Unix wc but was running my script everytime a new mk4 file was created. We now use the old wl command again for weather comments and I'll delete my wc script. It's been a long day but all's well that end's well. ___end___ Wed Mar 10 03:13:38 GMT 2010 MkIV 00_31.rawmk4 17_56.rawmk4 19_24.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 22_51.rawmk4 00_34.rawmk4 17_59.rawmk4 19_27.rawmk4 20_46.rawmk4 22_54.rawmk4 00_37.rawmk4 18_02.rawmk4 19_30.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4 22_57.rawmk4 00_40.rawmk4 18_05.rawmk4 19_33.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 23_00.rawmk4 02_45.rawmk4 18_08.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 23_03.rawmk4 02_49.rawmk4 18_11.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 23_06.rawmk4 02_52.rawmk4 18_14.rawmk4 19_48.rawmk4 21_37.rawmk4 23_08.rawmk4 02_55.rawmk4 18_17.rawmk4 19_51.rawmk4 21_40.rawmk4 23_11.rawmk4 02_58.rawmk4 18_20.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 21_43.rawmk4 23_14.rawmk4 03_01.rawmk4 18_23.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 21_46.rawmk4 23_17.rawmk4 17_24.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 21_49.rawmk4 23_20.rawmk4 17_27.rawmk4 18_29.rawmk4 20_14.rawmk4 21_52.rawmk4 23_23.rawmk4 17_30.rawmk4 18_32.rawmk4 20_17.rawmk4 21_55.rawmk4 23_26.rawmk4 17_33.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 20_20.rawmk4 21_58.rawmk4 23_29.rawmk4 17_36.rawmk4 18_38.rawmk4 20_23.rawmk4 22_30.rawmk4 23_32.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 18_55.rawmk4 20_25.rawmk4 22_34.rawmk4 23_35.rawmk4 17_42.rawmk4 18_58.rawmk4 20_28.rawmk4 22_36.rawmk4 23_38.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 19_01.rawmk4 20_31.rawmk4 22_39.rawmk4 c19_55.rawmk4 17_47.rawmk4 19_04.rawmk4 20_34.rawmk4 22_42.rawmk4 c20_01.rawmk4 17_50.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 20_37.rawmk4 22_45.rawmk4 c20_07.rawmk4 17_53.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 20_40.rawmk4 22_48.rawmk4
