- We are trying to develop a local application to provide weather data to
- a group of observatories here in Hawaii. There is no problem getting the
- MultiNet ser ver to spawn off a process to get the data, however, due to
- the way in which the weather station data we need is used by our
- telescope control systems, the data resides in a Group global section
- and is therefore unreadable by the spawned process. Is it possible to
- modify the RUN command in START_SERVER.COM so that the server is started
- by a (fully-privileged) UIC in the proper group? Will anything else
- break if we do this?
-
- (For various reasons, it is not possible to rewrite the weather software
- to use a system global section.)
-
- Thanks
