[time-nuts] Lady Heather and gpsd

[Tim Cwik]

Does anyone know if Lady Heather needs to send data to the Thunderbolt 
when monitoring performance?  She must send commands to do surveys, save 
results, and change operations, but is there data sent to the Tbolt 
after configuration is complete and she is just showing graphs of 
operating conditions.

I would like to use gpsd to provide time information from the Tbolt to 
ntpd on one of my servers but I would also like to be able to monitor 
Tbolt operations with Lady Heather. I am planning to make a splitter for 
the rs-232 from the Tbolt, connecting TD and RD to the server running 
ntps and TD only from the Tbolt to a machine running LH. Will this work? 
Is this the best procatice for doing this?

I suppose another answer would be to modify gpsd to do the same work 
that LH does or arrange for gpsd to pass info packets on to a Linux 
process doing the same sort of monitoring tha LH does, but this seems to 
be re-inverting the LH wheel.

Thanks for any thoughts,
