This process runs in the background and is typically invoked from a startup script. If specified as critical, it may trigger shutdowns on failure.<\/div>\n
\nMultiple instances of “evaluate” may be started to handle multiple spec\u00a0files.\u00a0\u00a0Normally,\u00a0there\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a01-to-1\u00a0pairing\u00a0of\u00a0an\u00a0instance of “evaluate” with a spec file.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe pairing is accomplished through the “registered name”.\u00a0\u00a0The “registered name” is a spawning argument for “evaluate” and is placed in the corresponding\u00a0
\nspec file following the macro “@REG_NAME”.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe spec file has the format:
\n#\u00a0event_name\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0expression_file \u00a0
\ntmr-100\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\/specs\/my_expr.100 \u00a0
