			Following commands can be used to start and stop softioc:

			/etc/init.d/softioc start
			/etc/init.d/softioc stop

			To start softioc at boot time do following:

			/sbin/chkconfig --add softioc
			/sbin/chkconfig --list softioc

An example of such script for gamma profiler can be found on clonpc1. Copy it and change ''clonpc1'' to your machine name.

			That script calls startup scripts from directory ''$EPICSB/ioc/clonpc1'' or whatever your computer name is (if directory does not exist, create it, copy examples from another directory and modify). You can call startup script from another location but it is better to keep everything in one place (with one exception: ''clonpc3'' is running test versions so corresponding line in ''/etc/init.d/softioc'' looks as following:

			###SoftIocBin="cd $EPICSB/ioc/clonpc1; sleep 1000d \| $BASEB/bin/linux-x86/iocCore ./softIoc"
			SoftIocBin="cd $BASEB/src/CAEN_HV/IocShell; sleep 1000d \| $BASEB/bin/linux-x86/ioccaen ./startup.all"
