Hi,  
trying to use autosky. it is not updating the weather display.  
I get this when manually updating

[root@n3idspi3 SkywarnPlus]# sudo /usr/local/sbin/supermon/ast\_var\_update.sh  
No faeroot - not checking updates?  
Updated Variables Node 592991  
[root@n3idspi3 SkywarnPlus]#

any ideas?  
Mike

I like SkywarnPlus myself. There a link to the code in this post…

> Hey everyone! My friend wrote this package for both ASL and HamVOIP images. It works pretty well. It has some options like custom CTs for a given weather alert, and a multicounty warning area for repeaters/nodes that extend past county lines. Go check it out!

I agree with @WD6AWP , I have used Autoski for a while and I don’t remember what version autosky got broken and pretty much was useless. I was reading somewhere else that there was a problem with some path being changed somewhere that did not match. Dont know how true that was but after testing SkywarnPlus I gave up on Autosky. I suggest you try that one instead.

Checkout the arm allstar list. Quiet a few comments on this issue. The orginal author said upgrade to new skywarn plus. NWS seams have changed stuff.
