Ralph, when I try to start a bat file using procServ under Windows 7

then I get this:

/C:\Users\Maslick\Downloads>procServ -L test2.txt 50010

c:\epics\apps\LINAC\startIoc.bat

procServ: Error - Please change permissions on

c:\epics\apps\LINAC\startIoc.bat to at least ---x--x--x

procServ is not able to continue without execute permission/

How can I set the bat file to be executable? Its attributes say it's

Full access (R,W).

Pavel,

on native Windows file systems, Cygwin has to fake the permission info

for files. So, obviously, the calls return no x bits for batch files.

(Which makes sense, in a way.)

I am usually starting the softIOC binary directly, which does not create

such a problem.

If you need to use a batch file, you might have to start command.com

(which is a real executable) with the batch file as first argument. You

could also try specifying command.com as the executable using the

command line option.

Good luck!

ps. Please drop me a line if you get it working, so I can add the

solution to the README.

Ralph,

Maybe you could modify checkCommandFile() for Windows so that it either

checks for executable extensions (.com, .bat, .exe, more?) or always

returns 0. I mean, what can really go wrong if you don't check in advance?
