ftpsri.sh
This program runs at :00, :15, :30, :45 of every hour of every day. It downloads the latest MACCS iridium raw data files from SRI's ftp site and files them into the MACCS_DATA/Raw/ folder. Then it makes ASCII files and line plots of the data it downloaded. It calls the following idl programs (from the /Volumes/physics_data/Code/MACCS_Code/ directory) to process the data: IriduimMaccs2.pro to make Augsburg Format ASCII files which are used by linex7.pro, IridiumMaccs3.pro to make IAGA2000 Format ASCII files which are made available on the MACCS iridium website, and linex7.pro to make line plots of the data which are made available on the MACCS iridium website. It finishes by running the todaysdata.sh shell script which make copies of the line plots for the Today's Real-Time Data Plots web page.
