[Hall A Winter 2011] working with multiple users on one CODA and SRCDAQ computer: need solution

[Ran Shneor]

Hi

CODA -
At the moment (at least for today) I believe that it is possible to start
CODA separately for HAND and for the rest of the set-up (i.e. BB and
HRS's). there is no need to stop one in order to re-start the other. this
will obviously change with the merge. After the merge, we agreed during
the meeting to have a run per-hour,at least for the testing period.

VNC remote control
I  think that option 2.1 that Thai raised is the best.
i.e. -  NO VNC CONTROL on any computer when you know someone else is
working on it physically. The person next to the computer should have the
first and only priority in controlling the computer.


Best regards
Ran
