Author: tmckay Date: 2010-11-12 14:53:20 -0500 (Fri, 12 Nov 2010) New Revision: 4413 Modified: mgmt/trunk/mint/python/mint/update.py Log: Add a forced write to the database after an interval (1 hour) for objects that are actively sending update messages but whose values are not changing. This prevents objects from being filtered out in the UI.
