Scott,
We use procServ in the Raspberry Pi. Try to download it and install.

Then you need to create a generic script to start yours IOCs easily and

a service that point to it. Look at procServ-2.8.0 in

https://sourceforge.net/projects/procserv/

Pretty simple and modular.

Hi EPICS users,

Can anyone share some best practices on having an IOC boot whenever

Linux boots? I’m trying to make it as easy as possible to reboot the

instrument, by simply power cycling. The hardware is a Raspberry Pi

whose sole purpose is to boot and run its IOC every time it powers on.

Thanks!

PS: I found some threads from many years ago in tech-talk, and I’m

looking for an update on best practices in the community. For example I

found:
