Overview

• iocConsole is a tool that creates a persistent console session into an IOC, EIOC or SIOC which can be shared by multiple users simultaneously. The session can also optionally log to a file: $IOC_DATA/<iocname>/screenlog.0.
• iocConsole connects to RTEMS or other "hard" IOCs by telnet-ing to the IOC's terminal server port.  iocConsole starts up a soft IOC process, and establishes a session into that process.
• iocConsole uses the Linux screen program to create and manage the console sessions and logging.

Configuration

To use iocConsole, your IOC must be configured in the system screeniocs file (contact Judy Rock)
When iocConsole starts up a session, it connects to the IOC using info found in the screeniocs file.

• screeniocs location :
  $IOC/All/Prod/screeniocs or facet_screeniocs

• screeniocs contents:
  • RTEMS IOC:
    • ioc name
    • terminal server
    • port
    • screen host
