Hi, John.
I would think that would be fine.
Does a soft IOC built against the same EPICS Base exit OK?
You could try calling epicsExit instead of the standard C
library exit.
You could try the new Sequencer (2.1.4) and see if it has the
same problem.
Also, the new Sequencer has a "when" transition "exit" keyword
to indicate the program should exit. The documentation notes
that if running under an IOC shell, only the SNL program exits,
not the whole IOC. But if one wants to exit the IOC, it
suggests placing the standard C library exit function call in
the global exit block of the SNL program. I doubt this would
make a difference, but you could try it.
For example:
...
ss SomeStateSet {
...
state finish {
entry {
ps_enable = 0;
pvPut( ps_enable, SYNC);
printf("rampTiSp cleanup\n");
}
when(delay(2)) {
} exit
}
}
exit {
exit(0);
}
