Low battery indicator

A true Realtime Interval

I was wondering if it is possible to create an option to have a true realtime interval. ie Cumulus uploads are triggered only when Cumulus detects an update from my Fine Offset PWS and not on a time interval. This would eliminate a lot of duplicate realtime.txt uploads (at most 3 FTP's are identical...

Re: Cumulus RealTimeLog Rotate Script (PHP)

Yes it is obfuscated and the actual path is good. I am just not sure of the use of "-q", "-code=", and if am missing anything.

Re: Need help with a php script

Hi Ray, It is odd to read about putting some code/script above the highest directory Its working fine above the root directory. I have it up there because I need to avoid bots hitting the file ( robots.txt is only obeyed by legit bots! ) and triggering it thus messing up the days. I have a cron job ...
