RUN Object executes multiple instances in Lookout 3.8 and 4.51

[ICS-Dave]

When using a RUN object to execute a .CMD file, both Lookout 3.8 and 4.51 execute multiple instances of the command for each triggering event.

The .CMD in the RUN object sends an email using BLAT (a command line email tool). When the trigger event occurs, Lookout erroneously executes the .CMD 3-5 times, causing 3-5 identical emails to be sent.

I thought maybe the trigger signal was pulsing causing multiple trigger events, so I added an on-delay. Now the RUN object is triggered by the on-delay, the on-delay by the original trigger event. After 5 steady seconds of trigger event, the on-delay times out and fires the run command - also 3-5 times.

Any ideas why RUN is firing multiple instances?

It depends on what signal you connect to the Run object. It's probably because the source signal triggers the Run object for multiple times.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm going to quadruple check, but that was why the on-delay was added - to ensure the trigger signal is on continuously and not pulsing. I will be working again on ths over the weekend. Will post results.
