Really? I searched for "NWS Service Change Notice 16-16" (no quotes)
and this www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/scn16-16wngccb.htm was the
first result. It states that weather.gov now supplies all the
appropriate information, so weather.noaa.gov is no longer needed.
I khexedited the deamon, found that address string and changed it to
http://www.weather.gov. but on a restart, that gives a 404 error about
once a minute. I'll go recheck that weather.gov site & see if I can get
any schmardter.
I found the data for the local, actually under the correct label, but its
going to be fun editing that path into that binary. I would assume the
KCKB.TXT isn't needed because thats a different, editable entry in the
config
http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KCKB.TXT
Editing that into the .so apparently exceeds the string length even if I
was over-writing $00's to do it, I now get a segfault and it exits. The
deamon however does start ok. I'll reinstall, so at least the rest of
gkrellm works.
