Automatic Ntuple Production
WARNING: the following information is out of date, a new system will be implemented (maybe)
Since the July2012 test beam ntuples are produced automatically shortly after a run has been taken. Runs are produced on
pcdreamdaq and should appear in the forder
/mnt/dremix2/
Technical details
The ntuples sre produce by a script called
auto_ntuple_production.sh
that is called by cron every 10 minutes. It looks at two files:
/mnt/working/run.number
e
/mnt/working/last_reconstructed_run.number
and if they differ by more that one unit it will start the reconstruction program and save the output to
/mnt/dreamix2/ntuple/log/
. A safety mechanism is in place to avoid having two instances of
auto_ntuple_production.sh
running at the same time.
