Name

install_batch - create a batch directory and copy a runlist from a holding directory into it

Synopsis

install_batch [vol] [batch_name]

Description

This script creates a batch directory in the location specified by vol and batch_name.

The pathname of the directory to create is formed by $AMS_BASE/vol/batch_name.

The runlist is copied from $AMS_BASE/holding_dir into the newly created directory and erased from the holding directory. The runlist is expected to have the same name as batch_name in the holding directory. It is renamed runlist when it is copied into the batch directory.

install_batch does error checking to ensure the pathname formed by vol and batch_name are valid. It also checks to make sure a runlist can be found in the holding_dir.

After the runlist is copied into the batch directory it is loaded into DMANserv(8) for execution by calling DMANsetup(8) .

install_batch can be customized to meet each sites needs so it is located in the /AccelNET/$CONF/machcmds directory.

Notes

This may be too obvious to say, but don’t do this while cathodes are being measured because the runlist already in progress will be interrupted.
