IOC shutdown signal(s)

[Rod Nussbaumer <bomr@triumf.ca>]

Hi All.

I am trying to set up a Linux host running a soft IOC, where there is a 
coordinated system of start-stop-restart commands available for 
maanaging the IOC as a system service. I would like to be able to issue 
a signal to the IOC to shut it down in a way that is at least as 
graceful as typing 'exit' at the IOC shell. Which, if any, signal does 
this? Is there any reason a new IOC could not be immediately started? 
The EPICS database may change between runs. In fact, this is the main 
reason for performing the restart.

Does anyone have a system of 'init.d' scripts that does this, and that 
they would be willing to share?
