    Trying to find the box that is running the IOC ddidn't work:

    ~/shared_EEE/projects/epics/MCAG_setupMotionDemo.200109-base-7.0.3 $
    cainfo IOC:m1
    Channel connect timed out: 'IOC:m1' not found.

    But caget does work:

    ~/shared_EEE/projects/epics/MCAG_setupMotionDemo.200109-base-7.0.3 $
    caget IOC:m1
    IOC:m1                         6.01

    This is under MacOS, EPICS base 7.0.3.
    env | grep EPICS shows nothing special.

Unusual indeed.

Please try 'which' on the commands.

Maybe one of them is a 'convenience' script that sets the environment

before running the binary from Base.

Cheers,

The path is obfuscated,
