This component updates the fixed output plots generate from the data. Normally this consists of a set of plots intended for public display from the station. These plots cover data from the latest available moving backwards, possibly to the start of data entirely.

Usage

da.update.plots [switches…​] [station…​]

Switches

--profile=STRING…​

This sets the profiles to update. If set then only the profiles listed here will be considered for updating. Consult the station configuration for available profiles.

Default: All available profiles

--quiet[=BOOLEAN]

If set then no progress output is displayed and any confirmation prompts are bypassed.

Default: Disabled

--recalculate[=BOOLEAN]

If set then the plot data bounds are recalculated from scratch. This can be used if the plots need to be regenerated aftercorrupted data has been removed.

--reprocess[=BOOLEAN]

If set then all plots are regenerated, not just those that have been updated since the last run.

--wait=NUMBER

This is the maximum time to wait for another process to complete, in seconds. If there are two concurrent processes for the same station and profile, the new one will wait at most this many seconds before giving up without performing an update.

Default: Thirty seconds

This option only accepts numbers greater than or equal to 0. Undefined values are permitted, to indicate that the option is set but not to a specific value.

Arguments

station

This argument is used to specify the station used to look up variables that do not include a station as part of an archive read specification. The station is the three letter GAW station code of the location, such as BND. The argument accepts multiple stations specified as regular expressions and separated by : or ; or ,. For example BND,MLO and (BND|MLO) are two ways of selecting both the BND and MLO stations.

The special value allstations may also be specified to select all stations.

Examples

Update all stations

This will update plots for all profiles and all stations.
