Problem with Backup States Ingo Dean Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:07:46 -0500

Mark,

I thought that when I set the "Backup" to Yes on an Item, that ECS
actually writes a new copy of ECS.cfg every time that the state changes
to update that value.  I have several Light items that I has set to
Backup:Yes, but ECS.cfg never gets updated.

Or does it work differently? (ECS.bk seems to get updated every time, do
you use that instead of the Initial State field in ECS.cfg?).

Seperately, my "MBR Light" never comes on correctly after an ECS
restart.  Even though the item is set to Backup:Yes and ECS does show it
to be at 42%, the lamp is always off after a restart.  This happened
even in version 3.4

Oh, even though I'm running version 4.0.018, the first line of my
ECS.cfg states 3.4.026
