RE: Remote IOC reboot Was(EPICS for implementation of Remote Procedurecall)

["Allison, Stephanie" <saa@slac.stanford.edu>]

Hi Emmanuel,

There are some device support packages that provide for rebooting/restarting an IOC via record.  For instance, devIocStats:
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/package/epics/site/devIocStats/
provides a sub record that calls epicsExit for soft iocs, reboot for vxWorks iocs, and bsp_reset/rtemsReboot for RTEMS iocs.
