Hi,

 At Jefferson Lab, we have been using the dump the output of the "dbl"

command to a file in the st.cmd files method to initialize the CA

nameserver. Recently, however, it was requested to make sure the dbl

command was before the iocInit. But in doing so I find the

the dbl command does not complete its dump to the redirected file but is

interrupted in the process and dumps some of the file to

standard out. (I can see it in the iocsh.) The following line is in all

our ioc st.cmd files:

< O_prod/epics/startup.epicsgo

in epics 3.13 startup.epicsgo, always worked:

#  Start EPICS
cd HOME
<../getBoot.vx
dbl > signal.list
symLkupPgSz=0
lkup "_loaded" > app.list
symLkupPgSz=22
iocInit "resource.def"

in epics 3.14.8.2  startup.epicsgo, DOES NOT work:

# Start EPICS
<resource.def
dbl > signal.list
symLkupPgSz=0
lkup "_loaded" > app.list
symLkupPgSz=22
iocInit

in epics 3.14.8.2  startup.epicsgo,  works:

# Start EPICS
<resource.def
symLkupPgSz=0
lkup "_loaded" > app.list
symLkupPgSz=22
iocInit
dbl > signal.list

Is there an obvious explanation for this behavior? I'm running epics

3.14.8.2, vxWorks 5.5 on mv2700 and mv5100.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
