But it was only when I stopped the server I had running, and restarted it that the keps were used.
I had a 5 degree difference between NOVA and predict.
When I restarted predict, then predict matched NOVA.
Is there a way to hit predict on the fly , or does a server re-start have to be carried out ?
See kep_reload in the predict source directory.
