[gradsusr] Opening a Grb2 File

[Ethan Sacoransky]

Hi Aaron,
I am attempting to carry out this process by typing in 'g2ctl gfs_4_20140112_1200_009.grb2 > gfs_4_20140112_1200_009.ctl'. I got an error saying 'unknown command: g2ctl'. Any thoughts on this? Thanks so much.

Ethan

When I type in the command 'run g2ctl gfs_4_20140112_1200_009.grb2' I get the prompt, "error opening script file: g2ctl".  Any thoughts on why this would be?
