     359If the conditions look marginal, and you only want to run with pass3, say, just create an empty "forcepass3" file in the `~/exec/mosbot/` directory:

    371 
    372371If you want to allow only pass 1, then use:
    373372{{{
     
    375374   touch forcepass1
    376375}}}
     376(though pass1 should not have to be forced if conditions are good!)

    384 If the conditions started out well, and you launched mosbot with all three passes, but then deteriorated and now you want to force
    385 [wiki:MayallZbandLegacy/NotesforObservers/MosBot mosbot] to only use pass2 and pass3, you can create a file in the ~/exec/mosbot/ directory called forcepass1 (though pass1 should not have to be forced if conditions are good; you should be using a default nightly plan) forcepass2 or forcepass3:
    386 {{{
    387    cd ~/exec/mosbot
    388    touch forcepass3
    389 }}}
    390 You can add a "forcepass2" file to restrict the observing to pass 2 without removing forcepass3. Mosbot prioritizes on the lower number pass.
    391 
    392 **Force files are not removed after tonight.sh recognizes them, so remove them manually to revert or change mosbot behavior. **
     384Mosbot checks for these files in the order: `forcepass 1,2,3` then `nopass1`.

     386**Force files are not removed by `tonight.sh` or `mosbot.py`, so remove them manually to revert or change Mosbot's behavior. **

    410 Whenever a new image is detected in the data directory (as defined by $MOS3_DATA), a new image is generated as ~/obsbot/recent.png .  That image can also be displayed by anyone that can see this directory.  It could be displayed with continuous updating with
    411 {{{
    412    eog ~/obsbot/recent.png
    413 }}}
    414 However, running copilot automatically displays this.
     404Whenever a new image is detected in the data directory (as defined by $MOS3_DATA), a new image is generated as `~/obsbot/recent.png`.
