OK.. on things like that.. what I do if I am wondering "what-the-heck" does motion-command-handler do?
Google "motion-command-handler" The second link that pops up is this... http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/motion.9.html And that explains what motion-command-handler does. That may or may not answer your question. Google saves my butt on a daily basis. You can also do a Google search of just the LinuxCNC website from the first page. Hopefully this will help you assemble the pieces. :-) Don't overlook the IRC also, if you are not already on there. Oftentimes you can get some pointers almost instantly. Very valuable.
