| Firstly, if there are any apparent problems, the script can be efficiently stopped with ctrl-c commands. It should not be necessary to do this except in the event of an antenna/recorder error. | Firstly, if there are any apparent problems, the script can be efficiently stopped with ctrl-c commands.

| - | The script (''fcgeo.sh'') is located on hex0 in the ''/home/observer/fc_auscope/'' subdirectory. Log on to hex0 as observer (the usual password). It should be started with the command <code>./fcgeo.sh hb ke yg</code> </code> hello </code> (a maximum of three telescopes can be scheduled at once with the current script). It will then issue a warning about requiring the stanadrd geodetic configuration. If Yarragadee is scheduled, it will prompt the user to check that the USN transmitter is not active. | + | The script (''fcgeo.sh'') is located on hex0 in the ''/home/observer/fc_auscope/'' subdirectory.

| Once started, it will select a suitable fringefinder (either 0537-441, 3C273 or 1921-293 at present) and issue ''source=...'' commands to all the telescopes via ssh. Once all telescopes report their status as "TRACKING", timed ''disk_record'' and ''disk2file'' commands are issued. The exported ''spectest.m5b'' files are scp'd back to hex0 and renamed appropriately. | Once started, it will select a suitable fringefinder (either 0537-441, 3C273 or 1921-293 at present) and issue ''source=...'' commands to all the telescopes via ssh.
