the Scripts</H2>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; LINE-HEIGHT: 16px">
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 1.05em">Once the scripts are setup in cron to gather the
information and the <EM>rpt.conf</EM> file has been modified, there is
not much to using the scripts. The cron entries will automatically gather the
weather information. I would suggestion to stagger the gathering times if you
are gathering a lot of weather information. This can be accomplished by editing
the corntab by using the command:</P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 1.05em">crontab -e<BR></P><PRE>The format of the crontab file is as follows:
The time and date fields are:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sunday, or use names)</PRE><BR>The
first field, minute, can follow a range with “/<number>” specifies skips
of the number’s value through the range. For example, “0/20” can be used to
specify command execution every 20 minutes, or you can select a step range. For
example:<BR><PRE>0, 18, 34, 46 * * * * (/usr/local/bin/Weather/getWxRpt_ug KMNSTMIC3 &> /dev/null 2&>1)
</PRE><BR>This will execute the script on top of the hour, 18 minutes past the
hour, 34 minutes past the hour, and then 46 past the hour.
