RE: Periodically calling shell functions in an IOC

Hi Andy,

 

streamEpics.cc defines the streamReload IOC function, so you should be able to call from the IOC shell with no need to use the OS shell.  It also defines a C callable streamReload() function that you should be able to call from SNL.

Subject: Periodically calling shell functions in an IOC

 

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding the use of shell functions with in the IOC shell. There is a shell function from StreamDevice called streamReload that I am interested in using periodically like every 30 seconds. What is the preferred method, if there are any, for doing so? Also, is there a potential way for calling that shell function within the SNL sequencer?

 

Thanks,

Andy
