RE: Triggered autosave on exit

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Can I have a PV that does that when I type "exit" on my softIoc?

I agree that what Frank suggests would be very nice.

Franck,

You can use a trigger PV to cause the save set to be written whenever the trigger PV posts a value.
You can do this with a monitor save set that is also monitored:

   create_monitor_set("auto_settings.req",30,"P=xxx:")
   create_triggered_set("auto_settings.req","xxx:myTrigger","P=xxx:")

Because the save-set name is the same in both calls, the second doesn't add a new save set, but instead adds a new method to the existing save set.

Dear Experts, Gurus and Educated Friends

A question that probably already popped-up in the past...

If we want that when the IOC process exits (in an healthy state) because it has been requested so (i.e. not crashed), the autosave is executed before the exit ... how can that be done?

The objective is to prevent that the changes made few seconds before a "restart" are lost (a use case during tests).
And we don't want to reduce the autosave period only for this case.

Thanks!

Franck
