eventlog - Log events from a SpectroDaq server.

Synopsis

/usr/opt/daq/bin/eventlog [-help] | [-source srcurl] [-ftp ftpurl] [-user username] [-pass password]

Detailed Description

eventlog logs event data from a spectrodaq server to a disk file. Event files are written either in eventlog's current working directory, or alternatively via ftp in some remote directory.

Command Switches:

Switch	Parameter	Meaning
-help		eventlog prints a message describing how to use it and exits.
-source	URL of data source	Allows the URL of an alternative Spectrodaq server to be supplied. By default, the spectrodaq server in the localhost is accessed. (tcp://localhost:2602/). Data can be gotten from remote hosts as well e.g.: tcp://spdaq05.nscl.msu.edu:2602/
-ftp	URL of ftp destination directory	Specifies the ftp URL of a directory into which the data will be written. If omitted, data will be written locally to eventlog's current working directory. If, for example, you want to write data to the event1 staging region use: -ftp tcp://daq1.nscl.msu.edu:ftp/usr/DAQ/event1
-user	FTP login username	Allows you to supply a username for the ftp login associated with the URL supplied by the -ftp switch. This defaults to anonymous which in most cases is useless
-pass	FTP Login password	Allows you to supply a password for the ftp login associated with the URL supplied by the -ftp switch. This defaults to user@nscl.msu.edu which in general is useless.
-one	N/A	Normally used by the event stager. This switch tells eventlog to log a single run to disk After the end run record is written to file, an empty file named .done is created in the directory in which eventlog was started and eventlog exits.
