Coming back to some more linux/floss software, i've been using
gpredict to provide orbit tracking info and this is a nice GUI linux
app. I'm looking for something command line based that fed kepler data
can generate an "event" when the tracked object is overhead. Has
anyone done/played with anything like this? It needs to run on linux
and it needs to be console based not GUI.
