    Is there a time out feature on this app?
    Reason I ask is because, I leave the app running overnight. When I get up, I find that the app has closed, evidenced by finding that, VNC viewer is still open albeit disconnected from the Pi.

    Soon as I launch the connection again, it starts right back to decoding, I don’t even have to enter the command to run acars.

    Same thing happens when I use PuTTy.

    How do I access the file that contains the frequencies for ACARS?
    I'd like to check on something before I can say something went wrong.
    Here's why, I pulled the sd card that was working fine on a Rpi3 and used it on an Rpi2. Ran the program on the Rpi2, seemed to work fine. Now, at this time of day where I usually get lots of messages, the program starts but little to no messages, show up.
    I'd like to access that file and make sure that, the frequencies I programmed from the time the program was compiled, are still there.

    Open /etc/rc.local
    You will find there path to run-acars.sh file.
    Open this file and you'll find frequencies.

    Is it new card or that one I helped you install acars?

    Same card you helped install.

    I remember I added acars to rc.local.
    Try to find run-acars.sh file (should be in /home/pi)

    I have two folders.
    One is acars, the other is acarsdec.
    The one that says acars, also has a subfolder that's named acarsdec.
    Looking on each folder to see if I can find run-acars.sh file.
    Was doing that earlier today but, did not specifically saw a file named like that.

    I'm available. Which number you need? I believe is the same you used last time.
