The best way would be if LinuxCNC were to catch the SIGTERM signal and stop the motors (e-stop?) write whatever files it needs to write. It should be doing this now. I don't know but.
When Linux is shutting down the init process sends SIGTERM to all running processes to tell them they will shortly be terminated. There should be a SIGTERM handler in Linux CNC,, but I don't know. It would be easy to "grep" the source tree for "SIGTERM" On Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 9:30 AM Billy Huddleston <[email protected]> wrote: > Setting up a LinuxCNC box, more or less in a Kiosk mode.
