I finally got around to trying this out...it's amazing! Congratulations to Dave and Ralph. Of course, I do have 2 small suggestions, since it has been more than a week :-)

1. Add a flag (-a|--allow)" to allow non-'localhost' telnet activity. I know there are add-ons like conserver to package the procServ with ssh to enable one-stop shopping, but procServ is so straight-forward, I prefer to use it alone with just some shell aliases. I can deal with the security issues on an isolated network--at least I want to set my own policy.

2. When you first invoke, say, "./st.cmd", you miss the output until you have time to invoke the telnet. Of course, you can scroll back to see what you missed; or even use ^R to force a restart and watch from the beginning. So what I am suggesting is a flag (-w|--watch) which invokes the telnet session early enough to see the initial command at work.

Hello all,

procServ V2.3.0 has been released. (I seem to be on a weekly schedule ...)

Changes:

   * New "-c | --chdir <dir>" command line option to specify a
     directory to cd to each time the child (softIOC) is restarted.
     Nice if your production file structure relies on soft links for
     versioning: now the IOC will re-solve the links and use the
     current version when rebooting within procServ.
   * Server won't exit if child can't cd or execute the command, just
     keeps on retrying.

For a more detailed description, see the documentation:

Download it here: http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/procServ/

Cheers,
Ralph
