Subject: VxWorks VME Ctrl-X vs. Power Cycle

Hi all,

Sorry if this is more vxWorks related, but I'm in a pinch and
know some of you might have been here before. I've been part of
a new spectrograph upgrade in our lab for the last couple years.
Now it's moving to operations, and I may no longer have the
luxury of a network bootbar. (Sometimes the science requirements
seem to miss the needs of a lowly software engineer. =) )

I have an MVME6100 with Epics 3.14.12.2 running vxWorks 5.5.
Sometimes when testing changes to a new vxworks kernel or just
an update to a new epics module, my shell stops hard, and Ctrl-x
doesn't work. Power cycling is my best friend in that case, but
is it my only option?

Can a modified reboot handler help with any of these occurrences?

Thanks for any insight.
-Matt
