You would need to move the eventing and system-level stuff that causes your bash script to run periodically into NCL. Without knowing what you are trying to do, its hard to make a specific recommendation, but it might look something like:<br><br></div>- Read the NetCDF file into memory<br><br></div>- loop "until done"<br></div> check for condition/event, and if its time, run the main part of the NCL script to create a new NetCDF file<br></div> otherwise, wait/sleep for some time to elapse and then loop<br><br></div>Useful NCL functions for this purpose are system(), systemfunc(), and sleep(), and possibly getenv().<br><br></div>Make sense?<br></div>Rick<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="m_3584563546334786459h5">On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 7:47 AM, Damjan Jelic via ncl-talk <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ncl-talk@ucar.edu" target="_blank">ncl-talk@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="m_3584563546334786459h5"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear support,<br><br></div>suppose i have one big 2dfield (time/values) and i have ncl program to extract particular time intervals delivered with bash script.<br></div>Every time the bash script sets new time interval ncl script is run again and the problem is it takes some time to load this big 2dfield.<br></div>How can i convince ncl script to leave this big data in ram/environment so it dos not need to load every time?</div><div>big 2d field is in .nc format and ncl script just sorts data and saves new .nc subset.</div><div><br></div>maybe its a silly question but i never needed that and im not able to goggle out the issue.<br><br></div>Thank aloft.<span class="m_3584563546334786459m_1299842695786642087HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="m_3584563546334786459m_1299842695786642087HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Damjan<br></font></span></div>
