killBIN - "safe" and shutdown instruments, and prepare for node shutdown

killBIN node [-bkqrs][-D quitDelaySec][-H haltDelaySec]

killBIN "gracefully" shuts down the specified node's SIAM instrument services (invoking 'safe' mode for those services that implement it), exits the SIAM application, and invokes then optional operations. Options and their defaults are as follows:

• b: enable backup batteries and holdup capacitors before quitting SIAM [false]
• k: keep controller on after exiting SIAM  (do not halt controller) [false]
• q: quiet mode; do not notify parent node when shutting down [false]
• r: enable recursive shutdown (not implemented) [false]
• s: enable safe mode before quitting SIAM [false]
• -D: delay quitDelaySec before exiting SIAM [0]
• -H: delay haltDelaySec before halting controller [0]

EXAMPLES

backups enabled: NO
safemode: NO
shutdown SIAM app: YES
halt linux: YES
notify parent: NO

% killBIN loc -q

backups enabled:  NO
safemode:   YES
shutdown SIAM app: YES
halt linux:   YES
notify parent:      NO

% killBIN loc -qs

backups enabled:         YES
safemode:                    NO
shutdown SIAM app:    YES
halt linux:                    YES
notify parent:                NO

% killBIN loc -qb

backups enabled:         NO
safemode:                    NO
shutdown SIAM app:    YES
halt linux:                     NO
notify parent:                NO

% killBIN loc -qk

% killBIN loc

ENVIRONMENT

The following environment variables must be set:

• JAVA_HOME - location of Java installation, e.g. /j9 or /opt/java/jdk1.3.1
• JAVA - name of the JVM. E.g. on a Sidearm, JAVA should be set to j9. On a workstation with Sun's Java installed, JAVA could be set to java.
• SIAM_HOME - top of the SIAM directory tree
• SIAM_CLASSPATH - on a Sidearm, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $JAVA_HOME/lib/jclMax/classes.zip:$JAVA_HOME/lib/prsnlmot.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/RXTXcomm.jar:$SIAM_HOME/classes.  On X86 system, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $SIAM_HOME/classes
