Re: Is it possible to give parameters to the Startup script (st.cmd)

[Eric Norum <norume@aps.anl.gov>]

Yes, through environment variables.

Here's an example from the Tektronix TDS3000/5000 support module:
===================================================================
#!../../bin/solaris-sparc/scopetest

< envPaths
< envParams

#
# Site-specific configuration
#
epicsEnvSet(FAMILY, "$(TDS_FAMILY=3000)")   # Choose scope family  
(3000 or 5000)
epicsEnvSet(ETHER, "$(TDS_ETHERNET=10.0.0.1)") # Choose scope ethernet  
address
epicsEnvSet(SCOPE, "$(TDS_SCOPE=scopeTest:)") # Choose scope ethernet  
address
.
.
.
.
## Set up IOC/hardware links -- Direct network connection
#vxi11Configure("L0", "$(ETHER)", 0, 0.0, "inst0", 0)
.
.
.
dbLoadRecords("db/TDSxxxx.vdb","scope=$ 
(SCOPE),L=0,A=3,ASG=RF1CTL,Name=RF1-HV,FAMILY=$(FAMILY)")
.
.
.
=====================================================================

If the environment variable is set, the IOC shell uses that value.   
Otherwise a default value is used.

For example, to use a different ethernet address:
ETHER=192.168.1.123 ../../bin/solaris-sparc/scopetest st.cmd
