Patrick Thomas wrote a script that restores alignment sliders to a time in the past.  Dave showed me this today, when we wanted to restore to before the IMs were moved on Sunday (see Corey's alog and comments 51837), and we tested it.  We added some rounding to avoid having the 10^-15 SDF differences, but the script is working.  I'm just writing it here because it is something that could be useful for operators occasionally.  

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/h1/scripts$ python restore_suspensions.py 1251771354

It sounds like Dave and Patrick have plans to make this a button that can be on an medm screen and allow the user to type in a gps time. 

Thanks Patrick!
