I'm trying to make the command line input override the configuration file with regard to the onTheFlyInterval setting. The config file has onTheFlyInterval=1 day while at the prompt I'm calling bnc -nw --key onTheFlyInterval "".

I faced this problem using bnc to convert ntrip to rinex. Files were no longer being saved to disk after midnight UTC. I could get the intended behavior (files being saved uninterruptedly across day boundaries) changing the original setting onTheFlyInterval=1 day to onTheFlyInterval= in the config file. I could NOT get the intended behavior having onTheFlyInterval=1 day in the config file and bnc -nw --key onTheFlyInterval "" in the command line. It seems that the empty value "" is being ignored by bnc or perhaps even discarded by the shell itself.

The documentation refers to both single and double dash input, i.e., -nw and --nw, as in, e.g., p.24:

./bnc --nw

and on p.80:

bnc.exe -nw

It'd be more consist to adopt a single usage.

Secondly, it'd be nice to emphasize in section 3.19.1, "No Window Mode - optional", that --nw implies autoStart=1; currently this is only explicitely mentioned in section 3.3.4, "Auto Start - optional", which says:

"See BNC's command line option -nw for an auto-start of BNC in 'no window' mode."

May I suggest the following settings documentation:

rnxIntr= RINEX Observations: Interval rnxSample= RINEX Observations: Sampling

be detailed as:

rnxIntr= RINEX Observations: File period or interval [char string: 1 min,2 min,5 min,10 min,15 min,30 min,1 hour,1 day] rnxSampl= RINEX Observations: File sampling rate (or its reciprocal, the sampling interval) [integer number of seconds]

Please notice that "rnxSampl" sometimes is erroneously referred to as "rnxSample" (with an "e" at the end).

Also:

obsRate= Outages: Observation rate adviseFail= Outages: Failure threshold adviseReco= Outages: Recovery threshold

to:

obsRate= Outages: Stream observation rate [character string: 0.1 Hz,0.2 Hz,0.5 Hz,1 Hz,5 Hz] adviseFail= Outages: Failure threshold [integer number of minutes] adviseReco= Outages: Recovery threshold [integer number of minutes]

And:

onTheFlyInterval= General: Reread configuration

to:

onTheFlyInterval= General: Configuration reload interval [character string: 1 day,1 hour,5 min,1 min)
