Hi Mark, Thanks, yes but that’s procServ and not procServControl. procServControl is an EPICS interface to procServ, in the form of a SNL program, to enable sending control characters to procServ. We generally install procServ via the RPM that can be pulled from the Red Hat repositories.
Cheers, Matt From: Mark Rivers <rivers at cars.uchicago.edu>
I think it’s here: hxxps://github.com/ralphlange/procServ

On Behalf Of Pearson, Matthew via Tech-talk Hi, What’s the status of the procServControl module these days?
It used to be available at controls.diamond.ac.uk, as described here: hxxps://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2015/msg00531.php but it seems that website has gone, and the DLS software is now all on GitHub? So there is this module: hxxps://github.com/dls-controls/procServControl but the history & release tags weren’t preserved (I guess because moving from subversion to git?) And there is this version: hxxps://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/EPICS-procServControl which I suspect is fork from the original DLS one? At the SNS we also have a modified local copy that is a slightly evolved version of the R1-2 release. We use it for all our soft IOCs, to provide an interface for software and scientific staff to start and stop
IOCs. I’m planning on making a change to it, which is why I was looking if there are upstream changes I should pull in first.
Is it widely used? Is there a similar alternative that other sites are using? Cheers, Matt |
