Introduction

This package contains several utilities to startup the DAQ, archive run parameters to COOL, send command to the Run Control, etc.
In addition this package contains the run control plugin for the web based monitoring (WMI).

General changes

Run Efficiency tools:
The run efficiency tools have been updated to take into account new information available in the conditions database. The evaluation algorithm uses information on run and beam intervals and also luminosity blocks specific information (level 1 rates, busy fraction, ReadyForPhysics flag). It is possible to evaluate the efficiency for different beam conditions (stable beams, both beams present or at least one beam present). It is possible to use online or offline COOL conditions databases.

The actual set of tools contains two interactive applications (rc_get_efficiency and rc_get_running_time), two scripts to start graphical user interfaces to display the data (run_eff_display and eff_display) and a plugin library (wmireplugin) to be used by a WMI server.

New applications:
Several new utilites have been introduced for testing operational procedures and offering manual means of interventions on the system.
WMI plugins:
 wmireplugin - new library to be used by a WMI server to generate a web page with run, beam and data taking efficiency data.
