procServ+devIocStats questions

[Alireza Panna <apanna1236@gmail.com>]

Hello tech-talkers,

Currently I am using procServ and devIocStats to successfully restart/reboot linux and windows based iocs. I did have a couple of questions though

1. What is the limit on the log file that procServ generates and does the ioc stop running through procServ if this limit gets exceeded?

2. On windows when I run an epics based ioc using procServ, a blank terminal opens up seperately for procServ.exe. Is there a way to not display this. I am sure there is a way and I haven't searched hard enough!

3. For pcaspy based iocs, it is fairly easy to exit the ioc by just adding another PV to exit the python server, however I haven't found an elegant way to restart the IOC  automatically similar to what procServ does. Any suggestions?

Thank you for all past and future help!

Best,

Ali
