Delay Rule loading after Startup in OH2?

Unfortunately, this still seems to be an issue…

https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/issues/1896

…where rules get loaded before everything gets initialized. There is no such configuration as in OH1 to delay the loading. Here is a related topic and the solution I had used:

Since then, I have modified the script (you’ll need to create the prestart directory):

#!/bin/sh
mv `\ls -1 /opt/openhab2/conf/rules/*.rules | grep -v Startup.rules` /opt/openhab2/conf/rules/prestart
echo
echo Launching the openHAB runtime...

DIRNAME=`dirname "$0"`
exec "${DIRNAME}/runtime/bin/karaf" "${@}"

And added a Startup.rules file with:

rule "Alert: System started"
when
    System started
then
    Thread::sleep(30000)
    executeCommandLine("/bin/sh@@-c@@mv /opt/openhab2/conf/rules/prestart/*.rules /opt/openhab2/conf/rules",10000)
    logInfo("Rules", "Startup: Rules restored")
end
