Hi Bo,

I typically make a simple, small epics database, and include a "TimeStamp" or "HeartBeat" PV that (by convention) is written to only the server process to indicate that it running. I often have both a unix/epics epoch value that might be read by the client to detect a non-responsive server and a human-readable date that is displayed for the user. I think that's essentially what you are thinking, so I can say that this approach works well for me. Sometimes a seq program is exactly the right thing, but sometimes a standalone server process is what you want. --Matt
