[gradsusr] exit code from gribmap

[Huddleston, John]

Bernd

Create an executable shell script somewhere in your $PATH called mygribmap.sh with the lines:

trap 'exit 0' ERR
gribmap $*

Call this script from within your current script with the arguments

mygribmap.sh -0 -e  -i obs.ctl

Subject: [gradsusr] exit code from gribmap



Dear grads user,

I come up against a slight hiccup using gribmap in a cron job on a RH6 system:

I create a file and a copy  in another place, create an index file change directory and create the index file again.
(why? because .ctl is template for many obs_$yyyy)

The problem occurs after gribmap finishes.
The return code is stops the shell form running any further after the first "gribmap" has finished. Regardless.

What do I need to do to go beyond "HERE!"


# make copy to $DATADIR/obs
   cp obs_$yyyy.grb $DATADIR/obs/.

# make new index mapping file
  ( gribmap -0 -e  -i obs.ctl && exit 0) ----------------------------!^ HERE!

   cd $DATADIR/obs/.
  ( gribmap -0  -e -i obs.ctl && exit 0)


Best Regards,
Bernd.
