Hi all, Most of my applications run headless where on fairly rare occasions I run into a couple of fairly minor errors, but ones which are difficult to recover from, especially for an operator who has no idea what has gone wrong other than the system just does not run.
The most common problem, and by most common, something that may happen once every 3-6 months, is that the .var file will get deleted. My thought was to add an autorecover switch to the emc script which ideally could do the following: 1> Do some simple tests on the integrity of the configuration, like seeing if the .var file exists. If it does not, restore the .var file from the backup .var file before running emc. 2> If emc still fails to start, try starting a backup configuration (i.e. copy it to a new location, so that the original cannot be corrupted). Ideally, there would be a means of notifying the operator that a backup configuration is now running so some persistent information may have been lost. Any suggestions / ideas would be appreciated.
