(Get the code!)
A simple approach would be to just generate blank images with the words "bake-out" every X minutes/hours. This way the system would automatically display those images. This wouldn't be efficient, but it would be pretty easy.
In the long run though a coverage and operations database as we've discussed in previous meetings would certainly be useful. There are two ways this could be used as well:
1) During image requests, the coverage database could be queried and if something special is occurring, that could affect the result. The client-side would then know how to deal with the special results and could, for example, display and "EIT Bake-out" image instead of a tiled image.
2) Another possibility would be for the client-side to make coverage requests along-side of image requests, possibly fetching and storing much larger windows of time. This way the coverage/operation image could be checked on the client-side before any request is made to determine when an image could even exist for the desired time.
