This is working as designed. Every time you submit a command-line STAF
request (STAF local .....) a unique STAF handle number is used for that
request, and the Timer service uses the handle number as part of the
unique data for the Timer registration. That's why you see 2 similar
entries in the LIST TIMERS LONG output, but each with a different
"Notifiee" (the STAF handle number used for the REGISTER request, in this
case 98 and 99).
You can create a static STAF handle (so that all command-line requests use
the same handle number) to get the behavior that you were expecting:
$ STAF local HANDLE CREATE HANDLE NAME TestHandle
Response
--------
21
$ export STAF_STATIC_HANDLE=21
$ STAF local TIMER REGISTER TYPE heartbeat FREQUENCY 60000 KEY heartbeat
Response
--------
$ STAF local TIMER REGISTER TYPE heartbeat FREQUENCY 60000 KEY heartbeat
Error submitting request, RC: 49

HEARTBEAT LOCAL://LOCAL 21 HEARTBEAT
$ STAF local HELP ERROR 49
Response
--------

Re: [staf-users] unable to explicitly unregister a timer entry
Further:
STAF is allowing me to register two timers with the same type/key
whatever.
mommy :( confusion++
The Timer Doc says:
Note: If a timer already exists with the same TYPE, registering machine
and process or handle, and key, you will get an Already Exists error code
returned.

Hi All
For the first time I am using the STAF timer plugin. I was able to plug it
successfully in to the STAF runarea.
the timer service is also getting listed in the service list of the STAF
instance that is running.
However I am not able to explicity unregister a timer entry.
Instead I see the following error message. The time documenation for
UNREGISTER event says:
The result buffer will contain an error message if an error occurred and
will be empty otherwise.
I am obfuscated that:
Am I using the right command syntax to unregister a timer?
or the way I have plugged the Timer service is not proper?
or if the STAF Timer plug-in itself has defect (which I doubt)?
help me overcome this obstacle, please.
