Update leapsec and utcpole data files inside an SDPTK installation
- SDP Toolkit
- This must already be compiled and installed.
- The sdptk-iers-* tools must run as the user that owns at least the database and runtime directory trees.
- Bash
- 4.2 or later
- Curl
- 7.29 (ie, RHEL/Centos 7) is known to work
- Probably other GNU or Linux-centric utilities
Choose a provided *.inc file, or copy settings.inc.template to a new file and edit the placeholders.
If using cddis-https.inc, or any other IERS data provider that requires Earthdata Login, then add the $HOME/.netrc file as described by How To Access Data With cURL And Wget.
For the tests below, preload the appropriate $PGSHOME/bin/$BRAND/pgs-env.* file for your shell.
| Shell family | Example source command on 64-bit Linux |
|---|---|
| sh, ksh, bash, ... | . /usr/local/sdptk/bin/linux64/pgs-env.ksh |
| csh, tcsh, ... | source /usr/local/sdptk/bin/linux64/pgs-env.csh |

The IERS data files provided by CDDIS seem to be updated daily, but SDPTK can probably live with weekly updates.
