CHECK_PSF


This routine is in charge of renaming any observation's Observation Status File (OSF) who may have become 'P' frozen due to a processing crash. The input to the program is a Process Status File (PSF). The PSF is made up of the process name, path, and current status. Using this information generic OPUS routines are used to find the trigger positions via the resource files. The program then looks for a matching OSF in the opus_observations_dir defined in the path. If the current processing step is marked as 'P' this program will rename the step to 'X'. This should alert the user that the observation is not pending nor successfully completed this processing step.

This executable is expected to be run only by the opus pipeline command procedures.

FORMAT: $ check_psf
