RE: How to make standalone applications run from within EPICS shell

YES! The command is called "system".  In order to see it from your IOC shell, you'll need to add system.dbd to the Makefile in your application's src directory.

Subject: How to make standalone applications run from within EPICS shell

Hello,

If I create a standalone C program by writing necessary lines in the Makefile in the src folder of my EPICS application, I can see an executable created in the bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH folder. I can run this program from outside the IOC, but is there a way that I can run this from within the IOC? The way SNL codes are run using the seq command, is there a way to execute C codes from within the EPICS shell?
