2. Would it be reasonable for the vxWorks hook (atReboot.cpp) to register with rebootHookAdd if it did not find sysAtReboot in the symbol table? (at least then I could get my cards disabled -- and I don't really care about the order).

Are you reluctant or unable to add the sysAtReboot mechanism to your BSPs? The message describing the required change is at http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2005/msg00004.php


Personally, no, I am neither reluctant or unable. But I am working on drivers that will be distributed to lots of other sites (which is why I am in to portability these days) and I can't vouch for their situations. Plus there is just the general inelegance of requiring a special BSP patch in order for our "portable" routines to run.

So I guess the question remains -- would it be reasonable to register the exit handler with rebootAddHooks in the event that sysAtReboot is not found?
