[gradsusr] Automation my (ctl) descriptor file

[Laws, Dennis MR 63134]

Same here. Using template files at the shell script level, or a "here" document imbedded in a shell script and substituting with sed...  eg: sed 's/YYYYMMDDHH/2011030812/g' template.file > new.ctl

Here's another way using a csh script.  Like Jennifer's method we have 
the top part
of the ctl file in a file called "ctl_template1" (basically everything 
before the "tdef"
line, and the bottom part in another file called "ctl_template2" 
(everything after the
"tdef" line.  We then cat the first file, get today's date, and cat the 
second file.
The resulting ctl file (final.ctl) has today's date as the tdef.

#!/bin/csh -f
cat ctl_template1 >! final.ctl
set day = `date +%d`
set cmon = `date +%b`
set year = `date +%Y`
echo "tdef ocean_time 29 linear 00Z$day$cmon$year 6hr" >> final.ctl
cat ctl_template2 >> final.ctl
