```php

when
        System started
then
	Auto_Lock_Front_Door_On_Close.sendCommand(ON)
	Lounge_Heating_Cooling_Mode.sendCommand(0)
	Guests_Home.postUpdate(OFF)
	Allow_Guest_Unlock.postUpdate(ON)
	BYPASS_KitchenLightsTimer.sendCommand(OFF)

Just because you mention every minute.. If there is an invalid addon in the configuration, it reloads addons every minute, trying to load the invalid one. I think it also triggers any system started rule. A common culprit is `restdocs` which moved from `misc` to `ui`.  
Check `addons,cfg` and `addons.config` files.

Due to the amount of system started commands you may want to delay loading your rules until OH get fully loaded. You can set this using openhabian-config tool, not sure exactly what number it is but it’s not hard to find.
