# Menlo_report Overview

(last revised 10 August, 1999)

Menlo_report is a module that writes earthquake information to disk and transfers it to a remote computer. Menlo_report watches the configured transport ring for hypoinverse archive messages (TYPE_HYP2000ARC) and summary messages (TYPE_H71SUM2K). When it finds a message of interest, menlo_report writes the message to a disk file, then copies it to the remote computer via "rcp". If the rcp succeeds, the local file is removed (unless menlo_report has been configured to "KeepLocalCopy"). If the rcp fails, the local file is NOT removed, and an error message is sent to the statmgr.
