rule evaluation / action execution happens only when program exits

[geronimo]

Hi all,

As a "proof of concept" for my project, I tried to create a simple rule based on an OR-condition: if one of two different lights is switched ON, a third light should switch ON as well.
(Below you find my full config file.)

When trying this, I start with all lights switched OFF and then run linknx.
Next, I switch one of the "source" lights ON. Linknx sees this change, but nothing else happens.
When I exit linknx (ctrl-C), suddenly the condition is evaluated and the "target" light switches ON.
You find a full transcript of console below -- blank lines and lines with ### were added manually.

Any ideas on what could be wrong??

thanks a lot!

Self-reply:
It seems to be related to initialization of group address statuses. Once both "source" lights have been switched on or off, things work as expected.

I added init="request" to the object definitions (although that's the default value for the init attribute), but that did NOT help.

Any ideas, anyone?

Another self-reply: downloading the latest sources from CVS (0.0.1.31) helped.
