The important part is a time length that is modulo the GPS
orbits.  So 12h and 24h are the most accurate.

It also does not hanlde RINEX 3.  So pass on teqc.

Lots of good ones.  GPSTk, RTKLIB, etc.  But easiest to just capture the

RINEX files have consistency records, getting them to match by hand is a
PITA.

Just start it when you want it to start.  cron can do that nicely.

Yes, to both.
