Hello to everybody,
i have a question that couldnt respond myself post it here if someone has an answer!
i want the machine to move to a certain position on shutdown.
i have an mdi_command in my .ini, but how i could run it in shutdown.hal on exit? (i was thinking on create a dummy bolean pin to modify it from 0 to 1 in shutdown to call mdi_command)
in the manual says something like hal_pin_new  but that is for terminal.
Any comments?
regards
rick

I don't think shutdown.jal is going to help you - I think at that point linuxcnc motion controller is already taken down.
You really need to catch the event in the screen code.
What screen are you using?
I'm sure someone already did this with AXIS

I've never tried this, but if you have set up a Halui command pin for the midi command, Try simply trying to setp the hal pin for the halui command in the shutdown.hal file.

a line like this (if the mdi command you set up in your ini is #01.)
setp halui.mdi-command-01 true

Hi,

In terminal or a with a bash file it is possible to do a crual shutdown attack like below:

#!/bin/bash
./halcmd unlink stepgen_motioncontrol (detach stepgenerator or pid controller from linuxcnc)
./halcmd setp motor.x 0 (sent motor x axis to zero)
echo "asta la vista"
shutdown -h +1 (wait one minute to shutdown)

Hi Chris, thanks for the answer!
Im in axis, i was working on shutdown.hal because id suppose is for that purpose, axis shutdowns fast but lcnc component continues working serveral seconds from exit. I dont want the event on screen, i just want the machine came close to home limits.

But judging by the error i get you are right!

Hi Todd, tks for the answer.
That was my first aproach, but get this error:
halui: emcCommandSend: no echo from Task after 5.000 seconds
halui: sendMdiCommand: failed to send mdi command 21

i think in this cmorley is right, at the time of shutdown motion controller is gone.
