basic commands
Once your IOC is configured in the system (see Configuration below) you can start an iocConsole session like this:
iocConsole iocname
e.g.
iocConsole sioc-sys0-al00
note: doing iocConsole to a soft IOC that is down will start it!
- (snip from the iocConsole EPICS Extension doc referenced above):
In the iocConsole session, the most important screen commands are ("C-" below indicates the ctrl key)- C-a d : Detach the screen session from this terminal (C-a C-d also works).
- C-a ? : Show all screen commands.
- C-a * : Show a list of all users attatched to this screen session.
Wiki Markup C-a \[ : Enter copy/scrollback mode (C-a C-\[ or C-a <esc> also works). In copy/scrollback mode you can use 'vi' or 'emacs' commands to move around the scrollback history. Some useful scrollback mode commands are:
- Arrow keys move line by line or column by column.
- h, j, k, l move line by line or column by column (vi-style).
- + - move one line up/down.
- C-u C-d move up/down one half a screen.
- C-b C-f move up/down a full screen.
- g moves to the beginning of the scrollback history.
- % preceded by a number jumps to that percentage of the scrollback.
- / or ? followed by some characters followed by a return searches forward or backwards for those characters.
- <esc> exits copy/scrollback mode.
- 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.
