[Shake-dev] [EHPweb] PDL sender configuration

[Bruce Worden]

Hi Pete,

I don't know what is meant by "current directory." My understanding is that the client comes with a default configuration file. Maybe Jeremy can elaborate.

There is an as-yet unannounced ShakeMap update in the repository. One of the changes is the addition of a parameter "pdl_config" to transfer.conf. The parameter is not documented in transfer.conf (at the moment), but is available for use, and will set the --configFile option for PDL.
