Line 6: Line 9:
The process is running inside a screen on megatron. The process runs inside of GNU screen on megatron.  It relies on `mysql` and `apache2`.
Line 8: Line 11:
To start it running, you need to set your environment, and then run the startup.c1conlog script :
 It is started by [[http://upstart.ubuntu.com/|upstart]], which is the Ubuntu init system. The main configuration script is:
Line 11: Line 13:
source /home/controls/ryan/conlog_environment.txt

cd /cvs/cds/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/conlog/conlogepics

./startup.c1conlog		 /etc/init/conlog.conf
Line 17: Line 15:
This will leave you at an epics prompt, which means the code is running. (that's why I left it running in a screen for now). You can start/stop the process using the upstart utilites:
{{{
$ sudo start conlog
$ sudo stop conlog
$ status conlog
}}}
There should NOT really be a need to do this, but if you want to attach to the screen session to see what's going on you can do so like this:
{{{
screen -x CONLOG
}}}
If you accidentally kill the process, restart it as described above ("sudo start conlog").

Then start up medm as follows:

$TARGET/conlog/remove_channel_names
Line 31: Line 32:
Then click the Add channel list button or Remove channel list button. Then use the conlog MEDM screen reload the channel lists:

aLIGO EPICs log (conlog)

This all seems to be obsolete now; needs some TLC

The aLIGO EPICS log (conlog) for the 40m is 'working' at: http://192.168.113.209/conlog/conlog.php

The process runs inside of GNU screen on megatron. It relies on mysql and apache2.

It is started by upstart, which is the Ubuntu init system. The main configuration script is: 

/etc/init/conlog.conf

You can start/stop the process using the upstart utilites: 

$ sudo start conlog
$ sudo stop conlog
$ status conlog

There should NOT really be a need to do this, but if you want to attach to the screen session to see what's going on you can do so like this: 

screen -x CONLOG

If you accidentally kill the process, restart it as described above ("sudo start conlog").

To change the list of channels when the conlog is running, you need to edit the file (s): 

$TARGET/conlog/add_channel_names
$TARGET/conlog/remove_channel_names

Then use the conlog MEDM screen reload the channel lists: 

$MEDM/MISC/CONLOG.adl

To change the channels before running the conlog from a blank database, you would edit: 

$TARGET/conlog/use_channel_names

(I believe this should be read whenever the conlog is restarted, but I'm only sure it does the first time you start conlog).
