Ummmm, I'd have to agree with Steve here. While I understand the issue that is trying to be fixed, I would be as frustrated as he is while working on a new exotic check. Perhaps a new command button to update the interface by hand when necessary?

If SA is stopped it doesn’t update at all. When my complete check cycle takes over 10 minutes to run and I want to test some new entries this is no help at all. I want to be able to add and fine tune new entries on the fly and frequently stop SA while I’m doing this and then restart it at the end. The biggest problem is that the Check Entry Now function is completely useless with no immediate interface update. If I change the name of a check, even this is not being reflected, nor is changing dependencies moving the item to it’s new location. This to me is a crazy removal of functionality and should at least have the option of being enabled if needed. I can’t believe I’m the only one who uses it this way. How does everyone else manage adding, modifying and testing new checks? I’ve just added 3 new checks, which were a copy and slight change of 1 existing check and this would normally have taken a couple of minutes to create and test and has now taken over 30 minutes.

Outside of a checkcycle it does update. You don't have to re-load SA Dirk Bulinckx.

How am I supposed to add new entries and check them when I can’t see the results until I exit and reload SA and the Check Entry Now function gives no feedback in the interface at all. I need this functionality back please at least make it a toggle.

It's disable and will stay like that Dirk Bulinckx. From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Davis Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 4:51 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Interface not updating I’ve got a really strange problem with 6.1.2151 & now 6.1.2162 The app normally runs as a service and we update and add checks by clicking in the icon in the system tray. Just now I tried adding a new check which was a copy of an existing one and although all the entries for that check are correct, the interface has not updated it with it’s new title. Also, when trying to do a Check Now, nothing happens in the interface at all. I tried restarting all the checks and while I can see them being updated in the status bar, it’s not marking each item any more. I tried installing the latest built and see the same thing. The service is not running, just an app now. Looking at the change list I see that b2151 no longer updates the interface by default, is this what I’m seeing? If so how do I enable it?
