    # Optional heartbeat file commands.
    #----------------------------------
    # Default HeartFileInt is 0 => send no heartbeat files.
    # Default HeartFileMsg is "Alive".
    # Default HeartFileSuffix is "hrt"
     HeartFileInt     30           # heartbeat file interval; optional
     HeartFileMsg     Alive        # string for heartbeat file; optional
     HeartFileSuffix  hrtUCB       # suffix for heartbeat files; do not include `.'

    # SerialKeeper: File name where the serial number of the output files is
    # stored. This should be a unique file name, in the params directory.
    # If the file does not exist, ew2file will attempt to create it.
    SerialKeeper  ew2file_keeper

    # TempDir: Directory in which files are created. This directory must be in the
    # same filesystem as all the SendDir directories. Exactly one TempDir is required.
    TempDir      /home/earthworm/run/ew2file/temp

    # SendDir: Directory to which output files will be moved after they have
    # been created.
    #  Use as many SendDir commands as you need.
    # Be sure the final line is terminated with a newline.
