SCHEDULE(1)

💖 SCHEDULE(1) 💖

okay so this is the schedule page from the User Commands section, and bestie, it's literally a little machine that ✨generates schedule files for polar weather satellites✨. yes, actual satellites. orbiting. above you. right now. 🛰️🌍

🌸 NAME 🌸

schedule — generate schedule files for polar weather satellites 🛰️✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

here's the whole vibe of how you call it, no cap:

usage: schedule [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-t TLE] [-l LOG] [-m [MAIL [MAIL
...]]] [-v]

       [--lat LAT] [--lon LON] [--alt ALT] [-f FORWARD] [-s START_TIME]
       [-d DELAY] [-a AVOID] [--no-aqua-terra-dump] [--multiproc] [-o
       OUTPUT_DIR] [-u OUTPUT_URL] [-x] [-r] [--scisys] [-p] [-g]

🎀 optional arguments 🎀

the basics, the little guys you'll reach for first 💅

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips, periodt
• -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG — the configuration file you wanna use
• -t TLE, --tle TLE — the tle file you wanna use
• -l LOG, --log LOG — the file to log to (and if you don't say anything, it defaults to stdout, so it just spills into your terminal 🫶)
• -m [MAIL [MAIL ...]], --mail [MAIL [MAIL ...]] — mail address(es) to send error messages to. yes plural, you can list a whole lil squad of them
• -v, --verbose — print debug messages too. it's giving "tell me everything" energy 💀

🦋 start-parameter 🦋

(or you can just set the values in the configuration file, your call bestie)

• --lat LAT — Latitude, degrees north
• --lon LON — Longitude, degrees east
• --alt ALT — Altitude, km
• -f FORWARD, --forward FORWARD — how far ahead in time to compute the schedule
• -s START_TIME, --start-time START_TIME — the start time of the schedule you want computed
• -d DELAY, --delay DELAY — delay (in seconds) needed between two consecutive passes (60 seconds by default). she needs her space, ok? 😌

🌟 special 🌟

(extra parameters that change the behaviour, main character energy only)

• -a AVOID, --avoid AVOID — xml request file with passes to avoid. like a little do-not-disturb list 🙈
• --no-aqua-terra-dump — do not consider Aqua/Terra-dumps
• --multiproc — use multiple parallel processes. multitasking queen 👑

💅 output 💅

(the file pattern is taken from the configuration file, iykyk)

• -o OUTPUT_DIR, --output-dir OUTPUT_DIR — where to put the generated files
• -u OUTPUT_URL, --output-url OUTPUT_URL — URL where to put the generated schedule file(s), otherwise it uses output-dir
• -x, --xml — generate an xml request file (schedule)
• -r, --report — generate an xml report file (schedule)
• --scisys — generate a SCISYS schedule file
• -p, --plot — generate plot images 📊✨
• -g, --graph — save graph info

The full documentation for schedule is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and schedule programs are properly installed at your site, this command:

info schedule

should give you access to the complete manual. go get that lore, bestie 📚💜

and that's the whole page, fr fr. it's from schedule 0.5, dated December 2018 — vintage but iconic, the way that she's still out here scheduling polar weather satellites 💖✨🛰️ slay, bye!! 💅
