BNC 2.6 : On-the-fly configuration edition

[marilyne.lefebvre@…]

Hello,
I'm a new BNC 2.6 user and I try to edit BNC configuration on-the-fly but it doesn't seem to work.
I follow the following steps:
1/ I launch Bnc (on linux redhat) in --nw mode giving a configuration file as parameter (--conf)
This file contains the following value "onTheFlyInterval=1 min"
2/ I edit the configuration file currently used with my favorite editor to add a new mountpoint (that produces data) and I save the file.
3/ Then I wait 1 minute, and I look if a new observation file is created for the new mountpoint. Nothing !!!
If I restart a new BNC client in window mode, the new mountpoint is present and if I start streams, observation files are correctly produced for all mountpoints.
Am I doing something wrong when using the on-the-fly configuration editing ?
Thanks for your help

Dear Marilyne,

It loosk like you found a bug in v2.6. I checked v2.5 - that works. We'll check the situation and fix the bug asap.

Best regards,
Georg
