Beware, though: using the HIGH field causes the record to process (again) when
VAL gets reset to zero.
The bo machinery with all the extra processing, setting up timers etc seems to
be overkill for this commonly requested feature. I tend to use mbbo records
(one for each command) and let clients write to the PROC field (they can write
any value they like).
One feature that I miss with this solution: a (simple) way to make the VAL
field immutable, so chosing /which/ command is executed cannot be changed at
runtime. Any ideas how to do that except writing a new record type?
Cheers
