Re: list all process variables, linux alarm handler

Hi Patrick,

One of the features of the EPICS relational database tool IRMIS is a PV 
Crawler (Perl script) that parses all IOC st.cmd files and dbload files 
to retrieve and store a comprehensive list of PVs that are currently 
running in production. IRMIS GUI interfaces provide the means to sort 
and view PVs by their various attributes.
IRMIS version 2 is in use at the Advanced Photon Source, and IRMIS 
version 3 is currently being designed at Brookhaven National Laboratory 
(Don Dohan, et. al., dohan@bnl.gov).
Best regards,
