I ran a script
#!/bin/sh wget -qr www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt -O amateur.txt wget -qr www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/visual.txt -O visual.txt wget -qr www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/cubesat.txt -O cubesat.txt /usr/bin/predict -u amateur.txt visual.txt cubesat.txt
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.
