The data collection disk directory structures have been modified somewhat so that you should collect data in a directory under the username you use on groucho as listed in the user database . Visitors should use a subdirectory under the person hosting them. Files that are not under an identifiable user name will be deleted by me after 2 weeks since I will obviously not know who to contact. You will therefore need to take extra care when setting up data collection to be sure that the files go into an appropriate subdirectory. It is clearly in your interest to do this, otherwise the files will disappear without warning after 2 weeks.
All users are responsible for backing up their own raw data files.
I do not generally do that, but I am happy to help you if you have trouble with it. The automatic script is now in operation. Every Monday morning it checks for files older than 2 weeks and sends a message to the owner of the files listing those files and sends a summary to that user's supervisor. It is really easy to see who is in the queue by issuing the command queue from the raxis accounts on itchy, tick or flea. You don't even have to start up netscape.
