[McIDAS #LRM-158233]: IMGLIST: ADIRSERV failed on exec of hdfadir

Hi João,

First, the trailing quote is not appropriate.  The DSSERVE command
run from the *nix command line should be:

dsserve.k ADD GOES15/VIS_4KM HDF TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE=$PWD/VIS* \"GOES-15 HDF data

Notice that I also escaped the first quote mark; this is needed when
running McIDAS commands from the command line.

Try running the command again and then verify that you can list the
images on the local machine/account by running:

imglist.k GOES15/VIS_4KM.ALL

If everything was OK up to this point, you are set to move on.

Hmm...

re:

Can you make one or a couple of images available to me
(via FTP, etc.) so I can download it/them and take a look?

Cheers,

Tom
