[evla-sw-discuss] [Fwd: script failure]

the reason i thought it was an executor problem was because of the error 
messages of this type in the log:

SEVERE: RefpointingAgent receive or Unmarshal Error: shutting down

but looking at it now it might be that that particular error is just something 
created when the thing is shutting down (i.e., a symptom, not the cause).

i looked at the script itself on friday night, though, and saw nothing out of 
ordinary.  i just looked at it again, and have the same view.  the only oddity i 
see is that somebody obviously changed the calls to subarray.execute to have 
hours, minutes, seconds in there explicitly.  a fine idea, but i can't verify 
that it works since i didn't put that change into obs2script.

the only other possibility i can see in the script is if the frequencies are bad:
loif0 = LoIfSetup("300MHz",   324.375000,   318.437500)
