FIESTool

The way that the reduction data is stored in the observing system has been rationalised. The reduced FIES files are now in sub-directories with the standard file prefix as directory names on a night-by-night basis. Once disk space will become available in our future reduced-data archive, the files can simply be moved over from the observing-system disk to the archive disk(s).

The automatic (headless) version of FIESTool permanently running in the background, and reducing all data take, is now automatically restarted every afternoon to make sure it works properly every night. The manual version of FIESTool is automatically killed every afternoon, and has to be restarted explicitly by the observer in case he/she want to use it.
