I just realized that we had already MIDAS_EXPT_NAME, and now people get confused with
MIDAS_EXPT_NAME

23 Jun 2023, Stefan Ritt, Bug Report, deferred stop transition
|
Deferred transitions were only implemented with a single instance of a program deferring the
transition. To have several instances, MIDAS probably needs to be extended. Certainly this
was never tested, so it's not a surprise that we get a segmentation fault.

26 Jun 2023, Stefan Ritt, Bug Report, mserver and script execution
|
Indeed that could well be (and is certainly not intended like that). I checked the code
and found that "execute on start run" and "execute on stop run" are called inside
cm_transition(). That means they are executed on the computer which calls cm_transition().

The compilation of midas was broken by the last modification. The reason is that
Pgsql *fPgsql = NULL;

28 Jul 2023, Stefan Ritt, Info, New environment variable MIDAS_EXPNAME
|
Concerning naming of shared memories I went one step further due to some requirement of a local experiment.
The experiment needs to change the experiment name shown on the web status page depending on the exact
configuration, but we do not want to change the whole midas experiment each time.

We sporadically (like once per few hours) have an error message when we access the
history plots through mhttpd:

12 Sep 2023, Stefan Ritt, Suggestion, Syntax highlighting for sequencer scripts

I like the idea of syntax highlighting, but your solution is just for one editor which not everybody
is using. It would be better if the editor built into mhttpd for MSL files would have the possibility.

13 Sep 2023, Stefan Ritt, Forum, Hide start and stop buttons
|
Indeed the ODB settings are obsolete. Now that the status page is fully dynamic
(JavaScript), it's much more powerful to modify the status.html page directly. You
can not only hide the buttons, but also remove the run numbers, the running time,
