Assuming that you're running the g2ctl/gribmap combo to display the downloaded GRIB2 file in GrADS, it sounds like there may be a coding error somewhere before or during when g2ctl or gribmap runs.

<div>I use GrADS to generate RTMA temperature graphics every hour. Cron runs my scripts and GrADS generates the graphics in batch mode.

</div>
<div>About once or twice a day, the graphic output doesn’t work. I get this error message:</div>
