NULL Alarm class

[dd1]

ODBedit alarm class is set to ““ (empty) everywhere (in Programs, in Alarm, etc) and I am getting these messages: [mhttpd,TALK] <NULL>: Program ODBEdit is not running.

K.O.

If /Programs/<name>/Required = y, this means only that the “Programs” page in mhttpd always shows this program, even if not running (background is then red). If /Programs/<name>/Alarm class is ““ (empty), it means “Do not trigger an alarm”. This is done in alarm.cxx:719:

if (program_info.alarm_class[0]) {
   sprintf(str, "Program %s is not running", key.name);
   al_trigger_alarm(key.name, str, program_info.alarm_class, "Program not running", AT_PROGRAM);
}

I did not succeed to produce your error message. Can you show me how to do that?

[dd1]

yes, this looks right. I cannot find which experiment had this problem to verify ODB settings. grep midas.log does not find this, as MTALK messages are not logged. Closing this bug.

cannot reproduce. K.O.

Actually MTALK messages should be logged in my opinion, what do you think? Should we change that? Everything except MDEBUG messages should be logged, right?
