Here's an example from one of our beam lines


in the st.cmd file:
---------------% st.cmd %------------------------
# create the motor PVs
dbLoadTemplate("motor.substitutions")

#... later, after iocInit

# save other things every thirty seconds
create_monitor_set("auto_settings.req",30,"P=12ida2:")
-----------------------% end %------------------------

---------------% motor.substitutions %------------------------
file "$(MOTOR)/db/motor.db"
{
pattern

}
-----------------------% end %------------------------

---------------% auto_settings.req %------------------------
# Note: the macro P must have been supplied to the routine that parses
# this file.  Normally, this means a command like the following is in st.cmd
# create_monitor_set("auto_settings.req",30,"P=12ida2:")
# This requires save_restore v2.8 or later.
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m1
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m2
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m3
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m4
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m5
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m6
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m7
file motor_settings.req P=$(P),M=m8
-----------------------% end %------------------------

------------% $(MOTOR)/db/motor_settings.req %--------------

Normally, I just include a line of the form
     file <request file> <macro definitions>
for each database whose PVs I want autosaved.


I am not sure I understand.
where do you include that line?
Do you have a pointer on some docs or example?
