One addition I would be in favour of is to remove the "Order" and replace it with drag&drop handles, because this is what people are more
used to today. Only the old guys like us remember the /etc/init.d/xx_yy scheme where one uses an integer number in the file name to
determine an order.

Done.

 17 Aug 2026, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, change in cm_shutdown and the Programs page
|
There was a bit of confusion on the MIDAS Programs page with programs that have
similar names. This confusion relates to the use of bUnique in cm_shutdown() and
cm_exist().

Indeed the ODB command "cleanup" really works. I have used it several
times with the TWIST DAQ and regularly with the BNMR/MUSR setups where
we have these stubborn clients (ie feepics) that do not want to shutdown

The default el6 (RHEL/SL/CentOS-6) compiler is gcc-4.4.7, it does not support c++11, not even a little bit.
Do this to install newer c++ compilers and build MIDAS with c++11:

The previously posted instructions are incomplete - one cannot cross-compile 32-bit executables (i.e. for running on 32-bit VME

Bjarne Stroustrup gave a nice talk at CERN, good enough to bring Rene Brun out of retirement to ask a few

Not me. One issue, exceptions are unpredictable, for example, does this code always print "hello, world"?

unfortunately, your code does nothing because you do not call "i2c_set_bit(10, 1);".
