Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Just to clarify:

There are two instances of iocLogServer running.

The first is doing conventional IOC logging. So your st.cmd would have set the environment variables EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET and EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT and have the line:
iocLogInit()

The second is doing caput logging, using port 7010. So your st.cmd would have:
caPutLogInit("${EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET}:7010")
So this ignores EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET and EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT?

# =====================================================
# Turn on caPutLogging:
# Log values only on change to the iocLogServer:
caPutLogInit("172.27.8.31:7004")
caPutLogShow(2)
# ======================================================

By the way, the CSS collaboration is working on a messaging system
for EPICS.  I am not sure of the current status.

 This sounds great, Ernest.  Can you tell me exactly how this fills
 the need?  (I see in subsequent e-mails how you got it to come up.)

 In fact, I have not brought up iocLogServer yet, either.  Can you
 give me a brief sketch of how that is configured?

It is very simple. Set two environment variables
EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_NAME=/path/to/logfilename and
EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT=portnumber and then start iocLogServer (from epics
base). I have attached a small shell script I use to start the log servers
on my local machine.
