Earthworm Modules:
RunWWS Overview

RunWWS is a wrapper for the Winston Java programs included with Earthworm, added originally as a contribution from Menlo Park's Will Kohler. This wrapper makes the Winston modules act like regular Earthworm modules, sending heartbeats and responding to stop or restart requests.

Winston's original author was Dan Cervelli working for AVO. Winston is composed of an importer that takes TRACEBUF2 information from an Earthworm export, and a server that serves requests for waveform data just like wave_serverV does. The database on the back-end is MySQL, and requires some configuration. The Winston Java programs can be found in the src/archiving section of the Earthworm distribution. You need to run an instance of runwws for each of the Java programs you'd like to run under Earthworm.

Winston configuration information can be found here as of this writing:

Configuration for RunWWS can be found in the section RunWWS Commands. Currently RunWWS is only compatible with Windows.

Running Winston under UNIX

For now if you wish to run Winston within Earthworm from within Unix, you can have Winston started and killed by startstop by adding it to startstop*d as following. Note that the kill is not a clean quit request, and statmgr can't monitor Winston to restart it if it has problems. This isn't as robust as using RunWWS under Windows.

IF YOU ARE USING UNIX AND NOT USING RUNWWS:

You can put the following in your startstop*d. Note for the following to work you'll need to put your .config files and your 'lib' directory for Winston in the Earthworm Params directory ($EW_PARAMS)
