[gradsusr] Problems with the automation of GRADS.

The cron environment is not always the same as your login (csh,bash,sh) environment; so, put the full path to grads in your cron script e.g.

/usr/local/bin/grads  -lbc  << EOF
open autoteste1.ctl
run gen.gs<http://gen.gs>
EOF

Subject: [gradsusr] Problems with the automation of GRADS.

I'm working on automating the GrADS run through a script ".sh" and crontab in linux environment, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, when the script is run manually with the console generates the images, but when it runs automatically with crontab does not generate the images, any help?

This is the script for crontab:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/jjfigueroa/WRF_CPM/ARWpost
grads -l << EOF
open autoteste1.ctl
run gen.gs<http://gen.gs>

This is the script for GrADS called "gen.gs<http://gen.gs>:

'set mpdset hires'
'set display color white'
'set rbcols 0 11 5 13 3 10 7 12 8 2'
'c'
t = 1
while (t <= 41)
'set t 't''
'set gxout shaded'
'd t2-273.15'
'cbarn'
'set gxout contour'
'd t2-273.15'
'q time'
x1=sublin(result,1)
t1=subwrd(x1,3)
te2=subwrd(x1,5)
'draw title TEMPERATURA PARA 't1' EN CELSIUS'
'printim /home/jjfigueroa/WRF/SALIDAS/temp't'.png'
'c'
t= t+1
endwhile
