Reload Program Through Pin

I'm interested to know if anyone has solved this yet?

Unless you hack into Axis itself, there is nothing to solve, Andy has given the answer.

axis-remote --reload

Send that by whatever method you like, the M code script is the easiest.

The best programmatic solution would be to add to axisui and create a bit pin which triggers a reload.

See www.mgware.co.uk/ > Axis Modifications > Disable Run
for an example of how to add to the axisui pins

I have tried to use "Axis-remote --reload &" in every-which-way I can think of. It always hangs for seconds and then throws an error after executing.

Here is the last method I tried.

M101

#!/bin/sh
halcmd setp halui.mode.mdi true
axis-remote -m "o100 call"
axis-remote —reload &
exit 0

Sure would like to see Linuxcnc create a method to deal with this problem in the next release.

Did you try your script from the command line to see what the errors were?

Works from the command line fine.
Only delays and error when evoked from M-code

what is the error?
(of course you cannot invoke this when running a program)
