Hi, provServ runs the IOC and provides access through local telnet.conserver provides the common interface to both soft and VME IOCs, handles user authentification, read-only vs. read/write access, time stamped logging, playback of recent console output (without screwing up the log file), and more.
See the corresponding How-To pages on the EPICS wiki for details.(They are not up-to-date as they describe using screen, which was replaced by procServ in our installation. I should update them. Or you could.)
We are planning to use procServ under Windows-cygwin, but haven't yet. Cheers, Ralph On 12.02.2009 14:45 Pearson, MR (Matthew) wrote:
Hi, Thanks. Yes, I'm not sure we would need to use conserver if we had procServ. I get the impression that the only reason other sites had the IOC->procServ->conserver layering was to preserve to conserver interface. Cheers,Matthew
