### New `afterIocRunning` IOC Shell Command Added This release incorporates [PR #558](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/558) which added a new IOC shell command `afterIocRunning`. This command allows startup scripts to schedule arbitrary commands to be executed automatically after the IOC initialization phase (`iocInit`). `afterIocRunning` allows you to write better-structured IOC shell files to include in your startup scripts without tracking where `iocInit` is located (and how IOC is deployed) e.g.: - to achieve the best maintainability (e.g. encapsulation of the context into one file), - to improve writing boot sequences, - to improve IOC startup flexibility and scripting capabilities, - it replaces the community [`afterInit`](https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/iocsh_utilities/blob/master/afterInit.c) and [`doAfterIocInit`](https://github.com/epics-modules/std/blob/master/stdApp/src/delayCmd.cpp) IOC shell commands, - community usage examples: - [`pf4filters.iocsh`](https://github.com/epics-modules/optics/blob/master/opticsApp/iocsh/pf4filters.iocsh) - enable/disable with a single comment ([full description](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/558#issuecomment-2430057167)) - [ALS-U autosave management](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/558#issuecomment-2430447220) #### Features - Define commands that run after IOC initialization completes. - Executes following `iocInit` and `autosave` initialization (important for proper PV configuration). - Supports any valid IOC shell command as an argument. - Example usages: - `afterIocRunning "dbpf "` - `afterIocRunning "date"` - `afterIocRunning "dbpf $(P)EvtClkSource-Sel 'Upstream (fanout)'"` - `afterIocRunning "dbpf $(P)Enable-Sel Enabled"`
