statpass statpass -s
statpass is a non-X-windows application for monitoring capture status. statpass is based on the old UNIX curses package; it must be run in a local or remote terminal window.
statpass supports two modes: chain and satellite. In chain mode (default), statpass reports status about the previous, current, and next scheduled pass for each chain. In satellite mode (statpass -s), statpass reports status for the previous, current, and next scheduled pass for each satellite.
The time reported under "..." is the time until the next pass. Elevation and azimuth for the previous and next scheduled passes correspond to the highest pass elevation.
The following output is from a NOAA/SeaWiFS receiving system with a single antenna and two chains: hrpt and swhrpt. Note that this system can receive only one satellite pass at any given time.
Output from statpass (chain mode):
