 +===== Scheduler =====
 +
 +The scheduler is a modified version of vie_sched (Sun et al JoG 2014). It is running continuously on a local server at UTAS (ares1-mp), each minute looking for available antennas. If the number of available antennas is more than one, a schedule is created. The schedules are then uploaded to the server for distribution. Each time a new schedule file (skd) is created, a new line is added at the [[http://​auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/​dynamic_sched_status.html|schedule status]] website.
 +
 +The usual update interval is 15 minutes.
 +
 +If the scheduling is not working, i.e. the is no new schedule despite more than 1 antenna are set on available ([[http://​auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/​tests/​do_status.html|here]] to check), you might need to restart the scheduler.
