         They have precedence over config files. The config files can also be 
         ignored by an argument from the command line, '--ignore-config' or '-i'.
             
+    .   [Jungfrau][Moench][Ctb] Additional programming checks
+        Also checks if the drive to write to is a special file or a normal
+        file. If its a normal file, it throws asking to redo the command with a 
+        '--please-delete' argument to delete the normal file and create the device
+        drive and restart FPGA programming.
+
+        More readable error message insetad of "programfpga not implemented for
+        this detector'. This happens when 'hostname' command fails due to 
+        server-firmware/client compatibility and the detector type becomes
+        'GENERIC'. Fixed to suggest if 'hostname' executed properly. 
+
+    .   [Jungfrau][Moench][Ctb] Additional server update process
+        Removes old server binary or target of linked file when updating
+        detector server for blackfin detectors as there is less space on blackfin.
+
+        Clearing up absolute and respawn path (removing double '/')
+
+        Raise error if server name to be copied is the same as final soft link name.
