How to Sink Data from DAQ to HPSS Manually

1. Goto the DAQ X-term

3. Goto the directory where the data is located, via typing
   > cd /data/X   [ENTER] (where X= the data disk number, found from looking at comment in run log book)
4. To sink a data file type
   > ~phobsink/bin/write_and_recon <filename> [ENTER]
   (This will output a lot of stuff to the screen, then leave you with a prompt, then you can submit your next file)
5. Wait ~4 minutes and look at the window on phucsia entitled "CRS status for PHOBOS" (if windows not there goto  Setting crs monitor up in counting house)
   Hit the "refresh" button on each screen.
   You should see (use scroll bar) the filename DV[RUNNumber]s[SeqNumber]_Date........
   If you don't then file did not sink, call expert.
