Hi Jim, list,

thanks for your reply!

I already had an idea to configure a watch keeping track of the
attribute and starting a script if value changes. Sounds like exactly
what your daemon does, doesn't it?

But this watch would only fire if attribute changes - what if Spectrum
discovers a new module in a switch and models new ports...? When will
they get the attribute value? Does your daemon cover this?

For now my intention is this:

1. Watch starting a script which inherits the attribute value to the
childs if attribute value changes on device level
2. Maybe a policy in PolicyMgr inheriting attribute value to childs
for every device having set this attribute

...but if anybody knows a better way I'd appreciate your hints.

Regards,
Marcel
