Known Problems seq 2.0.10 


A standalone sequencer does not register the sequencer commands with iocsh.
Thus if the sequence program is started with the -s option the sequencer
diagnostic commands are not available.

For example

./sncProgram -s "user=mrkHost"
epics> help
Type `help command_name' to get more information about a particular command.
#               exit            help     iocshCmd       


The following fixes the problem:

            printf("    macro_def = (argc>1)?argv[1]:NULL;\n");
            printf("    threadId = seq((void *)&%s, macro_def, 0);\n", prog_name);
              printf("    if(callIocsh) {\n");
+             printf("        seqRegisterSequencerCommands();\n");
              printf("        iocsh(0);\n");
              printf("    } else {\n");
              printf("        epicsThreadExitMain();\n");



With this fix the following appears:

mercury% ./sncProgram -s "user=mrkHost"
