=== Symbolic Links === | |||
The image contains a number of pre-created symbolic links for Cumulus MX files such as realtime.txt and the standard website tmp files. These links divert these files to the random access memory chip (the storage area is configured as folder "/run/cumulusmx") to reduce wear on your SD card. | |||
The full list of symbolic links could be added here by another contributor, presumably these cover every .json file that is produced for the default web page with fully defaulted settings as to which files are produces. For the moment, two symbolic link examples are included below: | |||
# the processed ''realtime.txt'' -> /run/cumulusmx/realtime.txt | |||
# the processed '''wxnow.txt''' -> /run/cumulusmx/wxnow.txt | |||
