Console Lock interrupts macros

Greetings,

It appears that a console lock-out doesn't just lock the input, but interrupts any actions currently running.

I have a macro that sends my moving fixtures to a home position, then waits 5 seconds before cutting power to them.  I initiated the macro, then locked the console and it stopped the action.

I would think it would be desirable to let any current actions finish if a lock is applied.

 

Thanks

  • is the macro running in foreground, i.e. writing to your command line? if so it is treated like input from a person on that console. you can run the macro in background (technically speaking this is User 0's command line). i would expect a background macro to continue even if the console gets locked.
