Archive Watcher

This program monitors the data$ share on the NDX instrument specified and copies across new files to the local computer it is running on, it is installed as a windows service.

Run setup.exe from \\isis\shares\ISIS_Experiment_Controls_Public\archive_watcher it will install to c:\Program Files (x86)\STFC ISIS Facility\ISIS Archive Watcher and register as a service. If you get issues with setup.exe, just run msi on its own. After install create an admin window and run the postinstall bat script in the install directory. You then need to follow README_POSTINSTALL.rtf in this directory, you will create an archive_watcher.properties with relevant content. For musr this was

watcher.instrument = musr
watcher.fileprefix = musr
watcher.localdir = c:/data
watcher.copylogs = true
watcher.digits = 8
watcher.muonautosave = true
## if you want files pulled to this machine to be pushed elsewhere too, define watcher.pushto
watcher.pushto = file:////ndavms/musrdata
## if you want to override the default \\ndxinstrument\data$ file source define  watcher.sharename 
# watcher.sharename = 

watcher.pushto is not needed in most cases, watcher.muonautosave set to false unless on a muon instrument. watcher.digits is 5 or 8, it is the number of digits in your raw file run number. copylogs is whether to copy the .log/.txt files as well as the raw data file.
