CODA scripts

These scripts are located in

coda@hallavme12pc:./bin/

Frontend scripts to use

• startCoda - executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, all ROCs) in a separate xterm
• restartStuff - kills and restarts the PEB and ROCs. The xterms are not killed with this script.
• kcoda - kills all CODA components

Backend scripts, called by the frontend scripts

• remote_vme - script that restarts an ssh connection if it is closed.
• PEB_hallavme12pc - script that launches coda_emu_peb. restarts it when it is killed.
• ROC_hallavme14pc - script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on hallavme14pc
• ROC_sbsvme25 - script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on sbsvme25
• SBS_startroc.sh - script on sbsvme25, hallavme14pc that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from it's hostname.
• kill_remotes.sh - kills off ROC_hallavme14pc, ROC_sbsvme25, and coda_roc on hallavme14pc and sbsvme25.
