Modify the NI-iDDS Instrument Node startup script to configure auto-rebooting and event logging.

The startup script is located at /usr/bin/InstrumentNodeShell.

You can modify the following settings:

  • auto_reboot: Valid values are true (default) and false. When set to true, NI-iDDS Instrument Node automatically reboots after experiencing a crash or unhandled exception. In some cases, errors can be corrected with a reboot.
  • log_severity: Valid values are critical, info (default), and debug. Refer to Event Logging to learn about event severity filters.

Startup script configurable settings example:

#!/bin/bash
# This script is designed to be run from the same directory as application .out file

auto_reboot=true

log_severity=info
