OpenVMS Host Programs

To restart a program running on SPEAR1, SPEAR3, or INJ02, a SPEAR system manager must log onto the machine running the program, get all privileges, and type the program name which will stop and restart the program. If the symbol for the program name is not available:
set def spear_root:[000000]
@group050_login
To rebuild a program:
@spear_root:[epics.3_14_8_2epics]setup
set def <path to source code>
mms <program name>
mms production <program name>
