Discussion

There are various kinds of processes running with DEIMOS:

Required daemons (traffic, watch_ccd, dispatchers)
If these are not running during observing, then an alarm should be raised. They all run under the kics account.
Required user software: science (lickserv2, ds9, etc.)
These are required to operate the instrument. It is not an error condition if one is not running. It is not okay to start up the user software if any of these processes is already running.
Optional user software: science (dashboard, etc.)
These are not required to operate the instrument. It is not an error condition if they are not running. It is okay to start the instrument if one is running.
Required user software: FCS (lickserv, kfigdisp, etc.)
These are required to operate the FCS. It is not an error condition if one is not running. It is okay to start up the user software if any of these processes is already running. It is NOT okay to start up FCS if one of these processes is already running.
Optional user software: FCS (xpose, etc.)
These are not required to operate the FCS. It is not an error condition if they are not running. It is okay to start the instrument if one is running.
