CODA scripts

- 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.
