We're using the sequencer to manage runs, and this typically looks something like:

May I ask for your quick opinion on code formatting. MIDAS had a coding style
which pretty much followed the ROOT coding style described at

After pondering over the holidays, I decided to use the widely used LLVM code formatting,
just adapted slightly for 3 spaces and "case" indentation in a "switch" statement. This
formatting is now very close to our original one. Nevertheless, I did not reformat all

Hello, just wanted to re-ping on this question now that folks are starting to get back from
the holidays. |

I guess you use a wrong pattern here. There is no need to copy ODB values to local variables,
then change them, then write them back. You can rather directly write values to the ODB. We run
all our experiments in that way and we can do what we want. So most of our scripts have sections

I have a more subtle point about the new ODB key for using an external elog I mentioned in [1]. I was very confused after changing the ODB "External Elog"
because mhttpd still wasn't using my external elog URL. I started trying to debug mhttpd.cxx, but found a lot of bits of mhttpd didn't seem to be getting
called. I eventually realized that my browser had been caching the responses for some (though not all) of the MIDAS navigation buttons. Clearing my browser |

Let me first explain a bit why caching is there. Once we had the case that someone from
TRIUMF opened a midas custom page at T2K. It took about one minute (!) to load the page.

Is it possible to embed modbvalue in an SVG for use within a custom page?
thanks. |

You can't really embed it, but you can overlay it. You tag the SVG with a
"relative" position and then move the modbvalue with an "absolute" position over
it:

The new history as well as the clock in the web page header show the local time

Would it be possible to make it either always use the time zone of the Midas

I found a way to embed modbvalue into a SVG:

Dear all,
I'm trying to use the logging on a mysql DB. Following the instructions on
the Wiki, I recompiled MIDAS after installing mysql, and cmake with NEED_MYSQL=1

I solved this, it was a failed "make clean" before recompiling. Now it works.
Sorry for the noise.

I think this is a good idea and I support it. We have a similar problem in MEG and
we solved that with external (bash) scripts called in case of alarms. One feature
there we have is that for some alarms, several people want to get notified. So
