Hi Pete, I believe the “system” command is still available, but for security reasons it is disabled by default. This document: https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-16/2-docs/AppDevGuide.pdf says on page 261: Send command_string to the system command interpreter for execution. This command is present only if some application database definition
file contains registrar(iocshSystemCommand) and if the system provides a suitable command interpreter (vxWorks does not). Mark From: Tech-talk <tech-talk-bounces at aps.anl.gov> On Behalf Of
Siddons, David via Tech-talk How can I make the IOC boot script also start an external program? THere used to be an iocsh command "system", but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. ALternativerly, how can I export the PV header
info ($(P), $(R) ) so an external program can read them? I have a few systems running the same IOC with different PV headers, and I want to allow the external code to pick up the current device's headers so I don't have to manually change them. Probably a dumb question, but I can't see how to do it
🙂 Pete. |
