Stubbe and Kurt -- 03 Nov 1999

This is info and planning documentation on how to run/start/stop/ and
reconfigure the imaging pipeline.


Runtime control will be done in each programs incoming queue
directory.  To stop (kill) a program such as MCP, put a file named
"stop.rtc"  (rtc = Run Time Control).  To pause the processing, put a
file called "pause.rtc".  To resume, place a "resume.rtc"  After
processing this file, it will be deleted by the controlling program
(e.g. MCP).

Explanation: The goal is to let fwdms pile these files through the
queue to control the whole thing.  Also, a luser can do this to an
individual stage by hand.  This way we don't all have to have super
user privileges to stop someone elses run.
