If, for example, dbLoadRecords, initializing some hardware module, cd("some/dir"), etc. fails while an IOC is booting, is there any way to trap this in my st.cmd and take an action, such as abort the IOC boot?

Under RTEMS (cexpsh shell -- every line is a C expression)

you can easily do that (provided that the routine you want to trap

returns a status)

dbLoadRecords(...) && bsp_reset()

will reset the board if dbLoadRecords() returns
a non-zero value.

However, rebooting is maybe not the best way to
handle this since you will most likely end up in
an endless loop (since the error condition doesn't
go away with a reboot).
