I have created an autoburt for seiteststand. It works by scanning the target area for any autoBurt.req files. For each file it finds, it performs a burtrb and saves the snapshot file in the /data/autoburt area. The autoburt runs every hour at one minute past the hour (as a cronjob as user controls on seiteststand). If we need to run at a different rate this is just a crontab change. Currently the script (/opt/rtcds/geo/g1/scripts/autoburt) uses the geo/g1 targets. When we move to X1 this will have to be edited. Here is an example the data directories and snapshot files names: [controls@seiteststand 14:01]$ pwd /data/autoburt/2010/07/20/14:01 [controls@seiteststand 14:01]$ ls g1isihamepics2010072014:01.snap g1x01epics2010072014:01.snap
