Brian,
As Jeff indicated, we have certain device drivers that will
usually hang the 'reboot' process. We use a macro to first
delete the driver tasks (preceded by a spy and casr listing
to display system info), delay a bit, and then issue the
'reboot' command as the last line.

Subject: channel access reboot behavior

> As currently implemented, Channel Access on the IOC tries
to communicate

reboot (this is

Unfortunately,

these

so unless the

to be handled
