John:

If you put the following lines in your ~/.cshrc file on cedar
and give the command "source ~/.cshrc", you can then use the
command "shstat" and "shqstat" to get the status of executing
processes on shavano, or status of queued jobs on shavano
respectively. This helps track the progress of batch jobs.

alias shstat 'date ; rsh shavano ps -f -u jwise'
alias shqstat 'date ; rsh shavano qstat -a -u jwise'
alias alqstat 'date ; rsh alpine qcstat -a | grep jwise'

alqstat will show status of processes owned by you on the EL 
cluster (if you submit nrnet aljob ..).

Below is the info on the CIRRUS run.
Model times are given here as day:ut (assuming min=0), 
e.g., 29:08, 29:09,... In tgcmproc you would use 
mtimes = 29,8,0, 29,9,0,...

These are hourly histories so 29:09->29:12 means 29,9,0, 
29,10,0, 29,11,0, and 29,12,0 are on TSCIR4. Also note the
full mss path for the history volumes is /ROBLE/RGR94/TSCIRxx
(you must give the /ROBLE at the front). So for tgcmproc,
for example:

 histvols = '/ROBLE/RGR94/TSCIR4','/ROBLE/RGR94/TSCIR5'
 mtimes = 29,11,0, 29,12,0, 29,13,0, 29,14,0

However, I just noticed that TSCIR14 and 15 are missing-- they must 
have aged off the mss. Let me know if we should regenerate these. I 
have updated the others (1-13) for another 367 days.

BTW, I realized after our phone conversation that you could use
the idt metacode translator on shavano or alpine if you need to
view cgm's before you get ncar graphics up on your system. First, 
you would give the following command from your home machine
(not cedar):

xhost +shavano.ucar.edu

Then give the following command from interactive shavano:

setenv DISPLAY machine:0

where machine is the full internet path of the machine whose
monitor you are using, i.e., the Dec or Unix machine where you
are sitting). And finally from interactive shavano:

idt file.cgm &

where file.cgm is the plot file received from successful run
of tgcmproc (you can just rcp it back to $TMPDIR on shavano from
cedar for this purpose). Idt is a GUI interface to the ctrans 
metacode translator. If you have problems with this, your system 
admin or whoever is installing ncarg should be able to help you. 
This may be slow and unpredictable over the internet (the 
buttons may not respond instantly), but it should work until 
you get ncarg on your home system.

If you can't get this to work, you could just send me the cgm, 
and I'll filter it to postscript and send the ps file back to you.
This would be easy to do if you have an anonymous ftp account
on your home machine where I could pick up the cgm's.

P.s: I have sent Sam some oh-v plots (postscript) made from 
tgcmproc using the ieohv flags I sent you yesterday via email.
