scan-operator/libDCS/read_dcs_background.sh doesn't exit on error

Trying to run scanoperator with DCS and encountered this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lechuck/scan-operator/libDCS/qaqc.py", line 1, in <module>
    import labRemote
  File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/labRemote/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ._labRemote import com, ec, ps, datasink, devcom, chiller
ImportError: libEquipConf.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 | | [INFO] - DCS measurement performed

which did not exit the process but keeps running. Had to kill read_dcs_background.sh
