Hi,
just wanted to ask whether someone already thought about the idea to use unique timer IDs, like autoincrement, for avoiding race conditions between multiple users or processes adding or removing timers. The associated renumbering between DELT operations can lead to hitting the wrong timer. If all timers had unique numbers, the issue would be gone implicitly, but timers.conf would have to carry the ID requiring a file layout change.
What do you think?
