Hi Ralph,

For our standard environment of Linux based soft IOCs, we start up the IOC using the "screen" utility and access the box (and the screen session) via SSH. (You don't mention what your standard text based environment is.)

We have only a couple of Windows based IOCs at this stage, and have not yet had a need to replicate this standard "screen" approach. However, your query has prompted me to see some definite benefits. So far, we have installed Cygwin/SSH for text based maintenance but this does not include starting the IOC. (Cygwin is a UNIX environment running on top of Windows). Cygwin is capable of starting win32 apps - you should not need to recompile your IOCs for cygwin-x86 specifically in order to run them. I believe using the screen utility under Cygwin could be an option worth exploring, although I have never tested it.

Let me know if you need more detail and please advise us of your final solution.

regards,

Hi -

does anyone have a (text based) solution to remotely access the console of a soft IOC running under Windows?
All we do now is access the Windows box using graphical tools like vnc or rdesktop - which is not really convenient and doesn't match the way the other IOCs are handled.

Regards,
Ralph
