iocLogServer change?

["Allison, Stephanie" <saa@slac.stanford.edu>]

Hi All,

We're looking at upgrading iocLogServer so that it either writes messages to a file, like it does now, or forwards the messages to the cmlogServer (which would make iocLogServer be a cmlog client).  We think it's easier to do this than to port the CMLOG client and daemon, and particularly ACE, to our RTEMS IOCs.  Part of this effort would also be to add support for messages that contain both ASCII text and other ASCII "tags" like facility, status, severity, and task name.

Any comments?  Dumb idea?  Anybody interested in something like this?  Should it be done in such a way that it can go into some future EPICS base version with the new features enabled via some configure file?  Or left unbundled?

Thanks,
