Somehow the caget/caput commands are really slow. I'm not sure if this is new behavior or not, but after changing values, it takes ~1-2 seconds to move on to the next command.
On op340m, once I ran autolockMCmain40m in the foreground, I could see that there were a lot of error messages that weren't being caught in the log file. On Solaris, the TDS and EZCA binaries work well, but the caget/pu stuff is missing a lot of the new flags and the new CDSUTILS python scripts are not there. So I decided to stop running on there and move over to running the MC autolocker on megatron. I also changes the mcup and mcdown scripts to BASH from CSH. There are still some PERL commands in there from Rob/Matt/Sam, so I also added the proper commands so that the pick up the scripts/general/perlmodules/ directory.
Yes, yes, I know. You would all feel warm in your tummy if we did everything in python because its the best language ever, but how about we lock the interferometer first and then we can rewrite all the last decades worth of scripts?
Looked at the trend from the last time the MCWFS were one (2 weeks ago!) and aligned the MC suspension back to that point. After that the WFS come on fine and MC looks good. I fixed the nameserver/DNS/fstab stuff on megatron, asia, and belladonna.
I've left AutoLockMC.csh (too painful to convert to BASH) running on megatron via an open terminal on pianosa. If it looks OK for the weekend, Q should move the crontab line from op340m over to megatron and then update the Wiki appropriately.
CDSUTILS is also gone from the path on all the workstations, so we need Jamie to tell us by ELOG how to set it up, or else we have to use ezcaread / ezcawrite forever. |
