[Orca-users] gzip vrs bzip2

[Saladin, Miki]

no just one orcallator process - actually there are two sets of them with
exactly the same time stamp - 2 at 4:10 and 2 at 4:15 - i'll look at a set
of them and see if they contain similar if not identical data. i'll be back.
thanks for the interest.

You don't have two orcallator.se processes running, do you?

Look at the orcallator-2003-07-17-001.gz and orcallator-2003-07-17-002.bz2
files and see if they cover the same timespan.  These two files
have almost the same timestamp.

Also, any idea why you're getting new files every five minutes
for a while there?

Best,
Blair
