Hi,[...]
[...]The aim is to set up the software as a daemon on the beamline server machines, not the control cabin user machines. Running the standard EPICS alarm handler is proving a little inconvenient on these machines, as it involves running an X server and VNC server.
For the alarm handler server side, does anyone have any solution that we can look at?
You can run alarm handlers from just about anywhere. I currently run ours from an ssh session from my desktop as our last dedicated machine (older notebook) failed to pick up alarms and/or send email. The processes are running on our main acquisition machine with the icons on my desktop - so I can't log out of my desktop, but, so what. - It's easier to kill and restart alarm handlers if you have the X interface locally anyway.
HTH, Maren
