NAME

/usr/pil/bin/iproc − This is a SICL daemon which performs various functions described below. 

DESCRIPTION

Iproc is designed to be run at system boot time from /etc/rc.  It performs various PIL system initialization functions including the creation of PIL device files in /dev/pil.  In additon, it is configurable by the system administrator to execute programs at boot time or on certain asynchronous events, such as VXI SYSRESET.  This configuration is done by editing the file /usr/pil/etc/iproc.cf.  Iproc.cf is read only when the iproc daemon begins execution.  It consists of lines beginning with keywords which determine the actions of the iproc program. 
 
The format of the configuration lines is as follows:

<keyword> <action>
 
or
 
<keyword> <interface name> <action>

The functions of the keywords are described below:

boot This keyword will execute the action when the iproc daemon begins execution.  The normal time for iproc to run is when the system boots. 

sysreset <interface name>
This keyword will execute the action on the interface_name when a VXI SYSRESET interrupt is detected by the iproc daemon. This function is primarily used to insure that the VXI resource manager, ivxirm, will be run in response to a VXI SYSRESET.  This requires iproc to continue execution. 

monitor This keyword allows the iproc daemon to continue execution when there are no other keywords, like sysreset, which would require it to continue execution. 
 

WARNING

Without a keyword in /usr/pil/etc/iproc.cf that allows or requires iproc to continue execution, such as sysreset or monitor, iproc will halt execution and exit.
