 +======= New in 2022 ======
 +start run window is obsolete. Two scripts are available for changing the data directory. Daq needs to be stopped, directories need to exist: ​
 +  * changeDataDir_maintainRunNum ​ <data dir> ​ : keeps the Run number the same, for when we need to move physics experiment data collection to another disk
 +  * changeDataDir_resetRunNum <data dir> ​ : finds the lowest available Run number without any larger RunDir #s

   * S800-Gretina not correlated: Check CC setfile ~s800/​converged_daq/​Scripts/​CC0105Begin.tcl for extsynch and extclock   * S800-Gretina not correlated: Check CC setfile ~s800/​converged_daq/​Scripts/​CC0105Begin.tcl for extsynch and extclock
 +  * S800 is losing events. Check the network speed of spdaq45 by /​sbin/​ethtool eth0 and /​sbin/​ethtool eth1 , both should show speed as 1000Mb/s, if one shows 100Mb/s then the network is too slow and S800 cannot send data to GEB fast enough which will cause event loss happen.
 +  * Check the ringbuffer status, $DAQBIN/​ringbuffer status - -host=spdaq45 - -all , if the free colum becomes zero, DAQ related people needs to be notified for diagnostics.

   * Warning script: run on a2 as gretina in ~/scripts: **./​warningMessage4.sh **   * Warning script: run on a2 as gretina in ~/scripts: **./​warningMessage4.sh **
   * Check decomp stats  ** recordDecomp.sh | head -n50 **   * Check decomp stats  ** recordDecomp.sh | head -n50 **
 +  * [[Flash digitizer firmware]]
 +  * Check digitizer firmware version: on a2 or a1 terminal, type: **DIGSNIDFW** ,all digitizers should have same version firmware
 +  * [[Replace digitizer with different color ones]]
 +  * [[Replace fuses of digitizer]]
 +  * [[No valid decomposed events]]
 +  * Verify connecedt digitizers, at IOC interface, type **dbior**, it will print all identified digitizers within one bank
 +  * VME related scripts are located at /​global/​devel/​boot/​vmeArray
 +  * Check connected PVs, at IOC interface, type "​casr"​
 +  * [[ Move detectors to new Hole position ]]
 +
 +====== Reboot a2 ======
 +  * If a2 is rebooted due to system failure, two scripts need to be brought up
 +    * from ~gretina: nohup scripts/​warningMessage4.sh &
 +    * from ~gretina/​scripts/​watcherdir:​ nohup watcher &
 + The first is the alarm script that talks to users. ​ The second is responsible for two things: writing record{Counters,​Decomp,​Settings} in the current run directory and cleaning up cluster process issues (usually restarting broken processes) soon after starting or stopping runs.
 +
 +  * Switch to a1
 +    * If a2 cannot be brought back. Gretina DAQ can still run on a1. In the file ~/.profile , environment variable **DAQSERVER** needs changed to be a1.gam . This parameter is used to restrict gretina daq critical scripts to run on specific machine.
