Remote HAL commands e.g. ESTOP possible?

Hi all,

just wondering, as I check on my running machines sometimes from a floor above via camera, whether I could send hal cmds to the running linuxcnc instance via logging into the machine terminal. Tried it, using haltcl, will tell me the rtapi module is not loaded, etc...

Maybe you guys did this already?

Regards,
Daniel

AH - it helps to use the right linuxcnc instance and rip environment...

Thanks tommy for confirmation!

be very carfull on direct interpreter commands
as special to interfear e-stop behavior from faraway

By design it is possible to seperate the GUI to another PC on a network. There is a config file somewhere that sets this up which defaults to localhost by default.. I've never played
