[SOLVED] Stop rules running during restart

[gforce2010 (Fraser Howell)]

I’m running Openhab 2.5M1 on a Raspberry Pi3.

During setup and testing I have come across several instances where restarting the Openhab service was needed

The problem I face is I have persistence via MapDB so as OPenhab loads most of my rules are triggered. This can cause lots of errors and strange behaviour due to the fact that not all items have been loaded yet.

Is there a way that I can stop any rules being triggered whilst Openhab is loading?

Thanks.

See here. Worked for me.

Cleaning up the startup process / renaming rules (windows possible)

I’ve run in some issues with the current startup process. Everything is starting at once which leads to several exceptions, errors and other problems. In my case the most annoying problem is the Homematic-Channel not found-problem. According to my opinion, a reason is the triggering of rules during startup which leads to timing problems and other race conditions which then lead to further problems after startup. I often read about moving or renaming the rules and copying back after startup, so…
