• Important: do not type "exit", or do ctrl-C from within a soft iocConsole session: this will terminate the soft IOC process!  Instead use C-a d to detach from the screen session.

• iocConsole -cleanup*
  as mentioned above, iocConsole has a couple of components that need to be in sync in order to work properly:
  screen process
  • pipe file (socket)
    Occasionally the screen process disappearscomponents get out of sync, and the socket is left due to a system failure (e.g. reboot of lcls-daemon1) or other malfunction. The remedy is:
    • iocConsole iocname -cleanup
      This will clean up the inconsistent state, and when you
    • iocConsole iocname again, it should work.
    • please note: doing iocConsole -cleanup for a soft IOC will restart the IOC process - please use with care!
