servertickle stops and restarts with 205 fw #6

If I issue the following command:

sudo ./blink1-tool --blue set dev:0:0 to rgb:0x00,0x00,0xff over 300 msec

And then this: sudo ./blink1-tool -t 2000 --servertickle 1,1,12,15

after two seconds it will start playing pattern 12-15 (as it should). At about 0:35 it will go dark and then at 0:39 it will start back up. At 1:35 it will stop and at 1:39 start back up and it seems to keep doing that forever.

If I issue the servertickle command with a time of 10000 it will stop/start at different times (16s and 20s respectively) and repeat every minute, so there's something odd going on with the pattern play...

Hi, I have not been able to replicate this behavior. Is there perhaps something else on the host poking at the blink(1)?

I think it was my cron job - that would explain the really strange behavior!! Whoops - sorry about that. My bad!!

you can resolve this ticket.
