I find I have to wait for owserver to come up first by delaying until owdir finds devices, then moving on. Bruce

I have a setup where one old and slow computer is doing parts of the datacollection usining owserver under debian, and another faster server to consolidate all inputs and running a control system based on that input data. Now, at a power outage (living on the country side...) the server starts much faster than the data collecing machine. In my setup that prevents the owfs on the server to find the transducers on the collecting computer. Which in turn prevents the control application to run properly. It seems that the owserver on the server is unable to detect the other owserver on the collector when the collector comes up after the server. I am able to do semiautomatic restarts if I control the power switches in the proper sequense i.e. waiting for the collector to start before starting the server. I need some kind of syncronization, I think. How can I implement a reliable startup sequence ? regards tcmsklas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
