== Verification ==

There's a script that runs daily at 9:00 to confirm that all data have been copied from the instruments onto astro.suth and astro.cape. The script can be viewed [https://bitbucket.org/snippets/saao/5jbX9/compares-pairs-of-directories-and-lists here] while logged into Bitbucket.

=== How it works ===

This requires [http://paramiko.org Paramiko], is currently configured inside of my home directory on astro2015.cape.saao.ac.za at /home/briehan/check_data.py and works by checking for the existence of fits files inside of the directories for this month and last month.

The crontab for my user:

<pre>
MAILTO=briehan@saao.ac.za,amanda@saao.ac.za,carel@saao.ac.za
0 9 * * * /home/briehan/venv/bin/python /home/briehan/checkdata.py
</pre>

=== Example output ===

An example of the output generated by the script is included below:
