    MISSFTP_DAEMON will call MISSFTP to determine if there were any missed scenes within the last 24 hours. If there were, they will be downloaded from the NOAA server and then renamed into the ADAPSACQ directory for processing. MISSFTP_DAEMON will run until it is stopped by the user.

Description/Algorithm:

MISSFTP_DAEMON calls MISSFTP once between 2:00 and 3:00 AM and once between 2:00 and 3:00 PM. See the MISSFTP module for more information.

User Notes:

  1. The functionality of MISSFTP_DAEMON could be better implemented via a cron job. However, since problems were encountered doing so, it has been implemented as a daemon.

  2. MISSFTP_DAEMON will only stop after it completes the transfer of an entire image.

  3. MISSFTP_DAEMON is part of the MISSFTP module.
