Telpos

Telpos


Telpos has no user interface except for its Quit button. It runs in the background getting the telescope position from the PC Guider and telling it to HQ. It also handles the Image loading for Telcon. It must be started for the PDPRP package to work properly and Quit at the end of the day when shutting down observing. This shouldn't happen as long as Telpos is Quit every day, but sometimes screwy things happen when more than one instance of Telpos is being run at the same time. (There should only be one instance of Telpos running at all times.) So, if weird things are happening, or the computer is slower than normal, do a ps (or ask your local Unix guru) and see if some left-over Telpos is still running.If so, kill all of them and restart.
