19.12 Bernese Program Options for Automated Processing
(5) Jobs were submitted on hosts which are not alive or where the particular queue is
inactive; the file system on the client host is not mounted or the NFS server is not
available. Check your system.
19.11.4 Killing a BPE run
In interactive mode there is a possibility to “kill” a running BPE server using the Kill
button in the server window. However, one has to take into account a few consequences:
(1) Already started clients continue to run (they loose the TCP/IP connection to the
server only). If necessary you may have to stop these jobs manually using operating
system commands on all hosts. A “hard” way how to kill all clients on a local UNIX
machine may, e.g., be the “kill -9 -1” command. Be careful in using this command
since it stops not only the BPE jobs but all jobs running on the account!
(2) The user area ${T} is not cleaned – one has to delete the temporary directories manually.
(3) The CPU control file remains in a non-updated state. Using the ”Menu>BPE>Reset CPU
file” the CPU control file may be cleaned again.
If a BPE is started in non-interactive mode it may be difficult to find the correct server to
kill if other BPEs or interactive jobs are running at the same time. In order to facilitate the
identification of the BPE server a mechanism is available that allows to print the PID of
the server to the error output when starting the BPE non-interactively. This mechanism is
initiated by adding the keyword PRINT PID with value “1” to the menu command file, see
Section 18.9.4 and Table 18.3.
19.12 Bernese Program Options for Automated Processing
Several programs in the Bernese GPS Software may write deletion files or selection files for
automatical removal of bad data files or to select files according to particular criteria which
makes them particularly useful for automated processing.
19.12.1 Selecting and Excluding Stations for Processing
19.12.1.1 Preselection at RINEX Level
In many cases it is important to select a subset of observation files for processing. The
tracking statistics of the RINEX observation files obtained from program RNXGRA (program
description in Section 4.2.5) serve a first selection. The options in panel “RNXGRA 3: Options
for RINEX File Selection” define conditions for a minimum number of observations in the
RINEX files. Furthermore, the number of selected RINEX files may be limited. Either the
“File with the list of selected RINEX files” may be used for the selection of RINEX observation
files for import into Bernese format with program RXOBV3 or the “File with the list of unselected
RINEX files” may be used to delete RINEX observation files in your campaign directory.
