Hi All.
I am trying to set up a Linux host running a soft IOC, where there is a
coordinated system of start-stop-restart commands available for
maanaging the IOC as a system service. I would like to be able to issue
a signal to the IOC to shut it down in a way that is at least as
graceful as typing 'exit' at the IOC shell. Which, if any, signal does
this? Is there any reason a new IOC could not be immediately started?
The EPICS database may change between runs. In fact, this is the main
reason for performing the restart.
Does anyone have a system of 'init.d' scripts that does this, and that
they would be willing to share?
Rod Nussbaumer,
TRIUMF.
