Tom, The model runs without user input. I ran top and it showed python running (because the model's written in python). I don't recall what the time metrics showed. > Please note that some processes do not run in background - if you put > them in background they sleep until they are in foreground.

I've modified a couple of run parameters and started it again, but in the foreground this time. The author tells me that the completion ETA will increase until soils are saturated, then decrease drastically. I'm looking forward to seeing a decrease in ETA because now the model run is 1.3% completed and the ETA is 3 days, 12 hours, and increasing. :-) I've not before run a hydrologic model over a 25 day period with precipitation specified in mm/hr. A learning experience all around. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
