Run Control: Other Comments

1. The Run Control process is independent of MiniDAQ and Slow Controls. As such, it can be killed and re-started without stopping a run in progress.
2. Run Control is built on a layer of applications, all of which have time-outs. If network traffic is heavy, some steps (e.g. initializing and configuring) may succeed once and fail later, for no apparent reason. (This was observed already with MiniDAQ's ability to access the table server.)
3. Run Control, as a Java application, is color-table intensive, presenting possible conflicts with other applications.
