I used scripts/SUS/freeswing-all.csh to give the optics a kick and then turn off their watchdogs and collect the free swinging data.  Final script end time = 993173551. Start taking data ~ 993173751

I had to fix up the script a little: it had amateur stuff in there, such as undefined variables.

It still doesn't work that well. On the new Ubuntu workstations, pianosa, it fails by just not setting some of the EPICS variables using the EZCA stuff.

On Allegra, it failed on ~1 out of 10 commands by returning "epicsThreadOnce0sd epicsMutexLock failed" ???

On Pianosa, it sometimes says, instead, "epicsThreadOnceOsd: pthread_mutex_lock returned Invalid argument.".   Ah...now I understand?

So finally, I had to run the script on op340m to get it to actually run all of its commands. That's right; I used a 15 year old Solaris 9 Blade 150 because none of our fancy new Linux machines could do the job reliably.

Fixing our EZCA situation is a pretty high priority; if the locking scripts fail to run ~1 command every hour its going to completely derail the lock acquisition attempts.

If you want to use the IFO tonight, just run the script again on op340m again when you're done.
